For Lorenz Larkin, Loss to King Mo Made Sense After Positive Steroid Test
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Lorenz Larkin, on “Beatdown,” discussing his reaction to news that Muhammed Lawal had tested positive for an anabolic steroid after their fight:
“My corner always asks me, ‘How did he feel?’ No matter if I win or lose, they always ask me, ‘How’d you feel? How’d he feel?’ And all this other stuff. All I could tell them was that I couldn’t do anything [against Lawal]. I physically couldn’t do anything. I felt like a little kid and his dad was holding him down and he couldn’t do anything. It didn’t make sense until after everything came out. It just left a sour taste in my mouth.”
