Lorenz Larkin interested in moving down to 170 pounds following third consecutive loss to Derek Brunson

UFC middleweight Lorenz Larkin tweeted Saturday following his loss to Derek Brunson that it could be time to move down to welterweight, at 170 pounds.

Sorry everybody but I think it’s my time to listen to my coaches and team and drop to 170 sorry about the fight @ufc @ParadigmSM

Larkin (14-4, 1NC) is currently on a 3 fight losing streak and is 1-4 in the UFC.  He lost to Brunson at UFC 177 on August 30, and earlier this year got knocked out by ranked middleweight Costas Philippou and lost a decision to Brad Tavares.  His lone UFC win is against Chris Camozzi, who is also on a 3 fight losing skid.  His last notable win was two years ago in Strikeforce, against now-welterweight Robbie Lawler.

Although Larkin hopes to move down to welterweight, but UFC President Dana White and the promotion could have other plans for him.  A pink slip.

In his tweet above, it appears that his coaches and team were previously tempting him to move down weight divisions, and he finally is listening now.
