TEMECULA, Calif. — Lorenz Larkin has been around this game for awhile, and he’s seen MMA judging evolve as time’s gone on. And that was fortunate for him on Friday night, because the way he sees it, if his fight with Andrey Koreshkov happened when he was breaking in a decade ago, there’s a real chance he would not have gotten the nod in his Bellator 229 main event. Koreshkov (23-3 MMA, 13-4 BMMA) held (Larkin 21-7 MMA, 3-2 BMMA) on the mat in the final round, but landed minimal-at-best offense in the process, whereas Larkin held his opponent in a solid guillotine for a significant portion of the round, and that may have been the difference in a razor-thin fight.  Larkin got the better end of two out of three 29-28 scores to earn a split decision over the former Bellator welterweight champion at Pechanga Resort Casino. “In the third, he was just trying to hold me, hold me against the cage,” Larkin told MMA Junkie after the fight
