Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featured a middleweight co-main event between Lorenz Larkin and Constantinos Philippou that would have been the talk of the town, if not for the insane main event between Matt Brown and Erick Silva at UFC Fight Night 40 on FOX Sports 1 (watch it), which took place last Sat. night (May 10, 2014) inside the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. Both fighters came out swinging heavy leather and Philippou hurt Larkin early in the fight; however, "The Monsoon" was able to weather the storm and actually landed a few good punches of his own. Unfortunately, they were unable to stop Philippou, who said he "went numb" after eating a few shots, then delivered a blistering 1-2 combination that put Larkin face first on the canvas. Not bad for a guy who said he was ready to retire just a few months back. The question now is, who does he fight next?
