Jorge Masvidal spoke with MMAjunkie about his fight with Lorenz Larkin at UFC Fight Night 88. Some highlights are below:

On the fight: “I’m definitely excited for the fight. I don’t think he’s going to be running around and trying to just score points; he’s going to come to fight. That’s what I’m hoping for, at least. It’s going to be a good scrap.”

On learning from his loss to Benson Henderson at UFC Fight Night 79: “Yeah, there were positives I took from it: I got to pig out on some Korean barbecue when I was over there in Korea and (expletive) like that. I was just upset because that same year I lost to Al and what I kept hearing was I lost because I was moving laterally and moving backward. So, in the Ben fight, my mindset was, no matter what, go forward and try to break him down. Press the action and go forward. I thought that’s what I did for all five rounds, but I still didn’t get the nod. So, it was a little weird.”
