It’s champion versus champion Friday night in Vancouver.

Edmonton, Alta.’s Christian Larsen (5-1) and Vancouver, B.C.’s Caio Machado (4-1-1) do battle for BFL heavyweight gold at BFL 67. The throw-down goes down on UFC Fight Pass on June 4.

The Unified MMA champion, Larsen, now covets another belt as he readies for combat with Machado on Friday night.

“I don’t really know too much about him. He looked good against Lee (Mein). I think he gets hit a lot. He’s got a good chin and kind of laughs it off when he gets hit,” said Larsen in an interview with MMA Empire.

“I’m sure he’s going to adjust for this fight here in June because I don’t think he’s going to be laughing off too many of my punches. I think he’s good, he’s champ. I think he’s 4-1, so not taking anything away from the guy, but yeah I haven’t seen a whole lot of him.”
