Interested in seeing how Latifi will do at HW against someone that isn't Lewis.

I think he's going to do quite well.

Yep, Latifi has no choice, win or get cut.

 

[Jackonfire]

That's a good match up. Still can't believe Boser lost to Arlovski though.

 

[d2s]

Good fight. Love both guys, but pulling for Boser in this one. Beefy Latifi might be fighting for his job here.

Prolly AA's final UFC win.

That's a good match up. Still can't believe Boser lost to Arlovski though.

Seemed like he had way too much respect for the speed and power that Arlovski used to have but hasn't shown in a long time. He was fighting a version of Arlovski he had in his head, not the current version.

 

[HatKick]

Damn... On the one hand it's hard for me not to root for the Swede. On the other hand Tanner has a beautiful style and more future in the sport. Good matchup.

(Still can't believe Ilir is 5'8)

Scraap

 

[Ares Black]

Very interesting fight. Both guys need a win badly.

Was coming to say the same. He had some momentum going and just shit the bed on that one.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Kill or be killed. that's all

 

[Hitman]

interesting fight !
Pick on Latifi ! I think he is better at HW than LHW !

 

[GOATweight]

Jan Blahovevich's story is an inspiration to all fighters with poor records and who are up there in age.

Latifi gets this done via being the faster guy in the standup and mixing it in with his wrestling.

Eh, neither is interesting to me. Hopefully Tanner by highlight KO

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Prolly AA's final UFC win.

I wish he'd retire.

 

[Kertol]

Latifi should win this. He was man handling Lewis.

 

[tehMoose]

Latifi wins

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Closely matched fight, could go either way.
I think Boser’s gas tank will be the difference, Latifi might win a round but he will completely gas himself out doing so.

Latifi needs to make sure he doesn’t bite as hard on Boser’s feints as Jan was though, that could get ugly fast.
