    yeah just saw that !

    At first I thought it was an horrible matchup, but I actually think after watching that fight that Mousasi should be able to manage him

    He looks to be very strong, and have some grappling skill, but if he wins on such short notice, it will be a miracle.

    When was the last time such an unknown name headlined a UFC card?

    exactly what I thought when I saw the first 5 min.

    But I know He has been working on his working...he has too.

    I think I saw a little improvement in the OSP fight...and he just manhandled Kyle so...

    The only think I really he hope is that he will come in at least at 85% and motivated ! :ibutt


    but to answer you question I dont know..let me check...well..starting when ?



    Record mean ****. Everybody knows that the weak point of Mousasi is wrestling, if the guy can dry hump him for 15 min he will win the fight exactly like Mo won against Mousasi ! :good

    Mo is one of the strongest wrestlers in the sport. You have to be a pretty damn good wrestler/grappler to dry hump Mousasi without getting swept/subbed.

    He will have to do it for 25 minutes so I don't see it happening.This guy was beat by Emanuel Newton so no I'm not giving him much credit.

    I haven't watched much from Latifi but he seems to be really strong and has decent wrestling but Mousasi kills him he has no chance standing especially with his height I doubt he can hump Mousasi for 3 (?) rounds it isn't a question of who will win but who Mousasi will win and it should be impressive if he doesn't want to work his way up and I don't want him to waste his time by fighting overmatched opponents. Mousasi's only real problem are athletic wrestlers (I doubt he has a chance against Jones he won't have a realistic chance of winning a title unless he moves down or Jones moves up) I would love if he fought Davis next
