Ilir Latifi (12-5 MMA; 5-3 UFC)
-73" reach
-Training at All-stars in Sweden with Gus, Manuwa et comp.
-Two time national wrestling champion
-Strong AF ( Cormier said he's the strongest guy he ever trained with )
-susceptible to leg kicks
-One punch KO power, good hands
vs Jan Blachowicz (19-7 MMA; 2-4 UFC) (L - R1 - KO)
-5" reach disadvantage for Latifi
-Latifi had some moments but got caught with a vicious body kick that led to the TKO.
vs Hans Stringer (22-8 MMA; 1-2 UFC) (W - R1 - KO)
-same reach for both of them, even if Hans had 5" height advantage
-Big punch KO for Latifi
vs Sean O'Connell (17-9 MMA; 2-5 UFC) (W - R1 - TKO)
-half a inch reach advantage for O'Connell
-Again, one punch KO for Latifi
vs Gian Villante (15-9 MMA; 5-6 UFC) (W - DEC)
-2.5" reach disadvantage for Latifi
-R1 pretty close, Villante did a great job stopping TDs, Latifi ate some leg kicks
-R2 Latifi gets a TD from a supplex (made Villante look like a 120lbs girl), Villante again working the leg kicks, Latifi probably edged it with another TD at the end of the round
-R3 Latifi landed some big punches, got a TD as well, clear round for him
vs Ryan Bader ( 23-5 MMA; 15-5 UFC) (L - R2 - KO)
-half a inch reach advantage for Bader
-both of them GREAT wrestling credentials
-R1 to Latifi, Latifi threw some bombs, almost finished Bader in the last 10 seconds
-R2 - Latifi kinda edged the round before he took that knee KO. Pretty fluke win, Latifi was ahead in the fight. Anyway, violent KO.
Tyson Pedro (6-0 MMA; 2-0 UFC)
-79" reach
-Black belt in Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Kempo Karate and Brown belt in BJJ
-Training at Lions High performance centre, but got some training sessions at Jackson-wink as well
-chinny, hittable
vs Khalil Rountree (6-2 MMA; 2-2 UFC) (W - R1 - SUB , RNC)
-2.5" advantage for Pedro
-Almost KOd in the first minute by a punch from Khalil, survived by getting Khalil on the ground
-Got the RNC late in R1 after Rountree gave his back
vs Paul Craig (9-2 MMA; 1-2 UFC) (W - R1 - TKO)
-3" reach advantage for Pedro
-Pedro clipped Craig with some punches and knees then finished him
////////////////////////////
TLDR / Conclusions
-Pedro will come with 6" reach advantage
-I'm not SURE if Latifi will look as good as before physically due to some photos on his instagram
-Latifi's kryptonites are leg kicks and TDD. Pedro does not have vicious leg kicks and his TDD is yet to be tested against a high level wrestler.
If this fight goes standing, Pedro's chin will not hold up with Latifi's bombs, it would only take one to KO him.
If this fight goes on the ground, well, I don't see how Pedro would get Latifi down, considering his credentials and his 100% TDD.
My bet for this fights is 3u on Latifi @ 1.85 / -117.
