4 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Nelson vs. Story

3. Ilir Latifi vs. Jan Blachowicz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPdJC4Lf0cI Weight Class: Light Heavyweight Ilir Latifi (9€“3 (1)) has been a pleasant surprise in the UFC. Brought in as a last minute replacement to headline a Fight Night card when training partner Alexander Gustafsson was lost to injury, Latifi dropped his first fight to Gregard Mousasi, but earned himself a spot on the UFC roster by saving the event and putting on a strong performance. He has two stoppage wins in his two fights since his debut, with a submission and a TKO. Showing a varied game, he should be able to put down the debuting Jan Blachowicz, a veteran of the KSW promotion in Poland. Latifi by TKO in the second.
