Larkin: I feel like I’m on the juice
Lorenz Larkin: “I can’t really explain it, other than saying I feel like I’m on juice. Whatever juice feels like, I guess that’s what I feel like.”
After coming over from Strikeforce, middleweight Lorenz Larkin went 1-4 inside the Octagon, but given presumably one last shot at welterweight, and says he now feels better and stronger than ever:
When I’m training now with 170-pounders, truthfully, all bull aside, I feel like I’m on juice, Larkin told MMAjunkie Radio.
The timing of such a comment probably isn’t the greatest, given all the recent controversy of the past few days over drugs of the performance-enhancing and abuse varieties.
But to Larkin (14-4 MMA, 1-4 UFC), it’s the best way to explain the spark in his step in advance of a meeting Jan. 18 with John Howard (22-10 MMA, 6-5 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 59, which takes place at Boston’s TD Garden and airs live on FOX Sports 1.
This is a good weight for me and I feel strong, he said. My stamina is crazy. I can’t really explain it, other than saying I feel like I’m on juice. Whatever juice feels like, I guess that’s what I feel like.
