Now 5-2 in the UFC after a win over Villante Last night. Latifi has shown to be a very dangerous fighter with 4 finishes in those 5 wins. Who does he fight next?

Corey Anderson seems a perfect match up. Anderson is also on a 3 fight win streak, 5-1 in the UFC overall, the one loss coming by way of tko against Villante. At 6' 3'', Anderson presents a tremendous height/reach advantage.

Winner of Cummins/Little Nog. Cummins might blow right threw little nog and be sitting at 5-3 in the UFC. If Little nog wins he'll be 5-4 in the UFC.

Stepping up in competition to fight OSP would be interesting too. OSP also beat Villante by Technical Majority decision. If Latifi beat OSP he would be well into the top 10 IMO. OSP is 7-2 in the UFC currently.

Any other ideas?
 
Winner of Krylov/Barroso would be fitting as well. Krylov 4-2 in the ufc, Barroso 3-1 currently.
 
Both Corey Anderson and Ryan Bader makes sense. I'd also like Texiera. All three should be very different fights but gatekeeper statuses on all of them. Not seeing Latifi above rank 5 but anyone wanting up above rank 5 will have their hands full getting past him.
