Ilir Latifi wants shot at Daniel Cormier After Choking out Ovince Saint Preux

 

 

Ilir Latifi had one helluva night. The 34 year old put on quite a show rendering Ovince Saint Preux unconscious.

 

 “Let’s see what happens,” Latifi told MMAjunkie after his win over Saint Preux. “I have no problem fighting at heavyweight, too. But I want that shot. Cormier’s never fought someone like me – a wrestler, same size, I never get taken down. Let’s put (us) together and see what we’ve got.

“I have mad respect for ‘DC.’ He’s a true champ. He’s a legend, both inside the octagon and outside. But this is business, and this is my opportunity to get my shot. I think we’re going to put up a good fight if it happens soon.”

And as for the victory Latifi commented:

 ‘OSP’ is a great fighter,” Latifi said. “He’s experienced. He has great fights – he went five rounds against Jon Jones. People don’t forget that. Coming into this fight, I prepared very hard, and I knew it was a tough challenge. I knew people doubted me, but my team didn’t doubt me and I didn’t doubt myself because I knew what was possible. The guys I train with and how we train, there’s nobody that does that.”
