Larson wins at WEC 35, wants Condit rematch

Brainerd native Brock Larson easily defeated Carlo Prator (23-6-1) stopping the Brazilian just 37 seconds into the fight to win by knockout. Prator had never been knocked out in his previous 29 fights.

After the fight, Larson (23-2-1) expressed his desire to face WEC Welterweight champion Carlos Condit in a rematch. The two previously fought at WEC 29 last August. Despite a strong beginning of the fight for Larson, Condit caught him with an arm bar at 2:21 of the first round.

That loss snapped a 9-fight win streak for Larson, whose only other loss was a decision loss to Jon Fitch at UFC Fight Night 2 in October of 2005. Fitch is set to challenge UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre this Saturday at UFC 87 at the Target Center.
