Brock Larson vs. Carlo Prater
From WEC.TV
A lot of people presumed Prater might have the edge standing, but Larson destroyed those assumptions early with a booming straight left hand that dropped Prater flat. With Prater struggling to regain his senses, Larson pounced like a leopard and landed four shots flush to Prater, putting him out cold at 37 seconds of round one. Foes have always known that Larson is dangerous on the ground with his submissions and ground and pound. On Sunday he gave future foes something else to fear.
“I figured I’d feint a little bit, throw that left and, hell, it worked out,” Larson said afterward.
Larson lost to WEC welterweight champ Carlos Condit last year but wants another crack at the title. He couldn’t wait to watch Condit’s clash with Hiromitsu Miura later in the night.
“That’s why I’m here -- I want to be the best in the world,” Larson said. “Whoever holds that belt at the end of the night, hopefully I’ll be next in line.” |
