Ilir Latifi appreciation thread

[Vinzz]

I have seen Latifi do flips in the gym and he is very athletic, like a gymnast.

 

[Robb the Wolf]

any idea how much he's deadlifting in this?

'bout 200-240 kg (440-530 lbs)
hard to see the weight on all the plates

Here's another. 440 pounds.

holy shit that is ridiculous

 

[fearoth]

Strong as fuck

He needs to invest in weight lifting gloves.

He needs to invest in weight lifting gloves.

They don't provide optimal grip compared with skin and chalk. There is a reason most powerlifters (the vast vast majority) use chalk for the DL.

Lmfao hey Jones fan girl, your boy is gonna get his ass kicked for a second time so keep talking shit son. :icon_lol:

I'm a fan of Latifi.

It's insane to remember Mousasi completely dominated him despite fighting on a torn ACL, and still caught shit from much of the sherdog community over the performance.

All while Ilir hadn't sparred in 3 months and dropped over 25 pounds in 3 days.. :redface:


Troll harder please.

 

[Superior]

Is it just me or does Latifi look like a bulkier, balder Jon Snow?

War Night's Watch Latifi

Lol, nice catch

 

[James Baller]

i'll hop aboard this bandwagon somewhat

its a feel good story. the guy was a late replacement for gustaffson iirc. the ufc did the right thing after he had a spirited showing, and now hes got some nice wins under his belt. strong, tough dude. solid on the ground. kind of a throwback

Hijacked gif, crazy finish.

cheers for the gif

 

[OldManGrip]

why is he wasting time at 205? he could be a serious contender fighting guys his own size at mw.

the guy is huge, he is just not tall. He would have to lose a lot of muscle

 

[emax]

I bet there are gonna be no Serb, Croat, Greek or Slovene posters expressing their appreciation for this. I bet a lot of them would throw piles of garbage at the cage if they ever saw him live.

 

[Vinzz]

Has anybody mentioned yet that he is friends with Zlatan Ibrahimovic? He grew up with him in the same area....

 

[Wild Mushroom]

Latifi has to be one of the most physical fighters in the lhw division if not the whole ufc. He just goes there to ragdoll dudes. He needs a step up in competition. Someone in the fringe top 20 should be up next.

 

[BigGucciSosa]

petition to change his nickname to King or Queen

 

[capnlarge]

Good fighter. Bad gymnast.

 

[TH1RTE3N]

I had a feeling he'd be able to rack up some wins in UFC. He lost but held his own against Mousasi pretty decently only holding him to jabs due to a better significant height/reach advantage. I was surprised from that fight alone...and more disappointed with Mousasi than usual as well lol.
