Lorenz Larkin Fine With Fighting on Prelims If It’s Marketed Right

Lorenz Larkin spoke with MMAjunkie about his fight with Neil Magny at UFC 202. Some highlights are below:

On fighting on the prelims: “We were originally slotted for, I think, the second fight on pay-per-view. The viewership number would’ve been crazy. But, if we’re on Fight Pass and we get marketed the right way, then it makes sense. Because a lot of things, I always look at it from a fighter’s aspect and look at it from the business aspect too because you can’t just be one-sided all the time.”

On wanting the fight to get a push: “It’s not just for me. It’s for Neil too…If they’re pushing us and they’re marketing us on Fight Pass, it makes sense. Because we wouldn’t have got that if we were the first or second fight on pay-per-view. So I’ll take marketing over viewership any time.”
