Latif isn't scared, he's looking for champion Cormier and thanking everyone in Albanian.

But it's a problem. Cormier's eyes are from a much heavier category and summer he will be fighting with champion Stipe Miocic for UFC 226. So it is possible that he will become a heavyweight champion, but he is guaranteed that his lightweight title will still be his until the situation is resolved.

But that's not the problem for Latif because he wants to fight Cormier and doesn't matter the category.

“DC is a legend, you're a champion, you know I have a lot of respect for you, but let's fight for the title, you and me. What do you say? Come on, DC”, it was Latif's words to Daniel Cormier as the Albanian was on the teacle, and then he went on:

I thank you for all of my family, the people who support me from Sweden, the US, Albania and Kosovo”, telling all of them in Albanian that they love them very much, is worth noting that in this race he is represented as competitors from Sweden.

He's never faced a wrestling like me that hits hard, let's do it. I'm willing to do it in the weight category”, Ilir added to one of the interviews after the match.

“This was the face to go to another level, towards the title. I won the first round, I got five wins from the last six encounters, three of them I finished in the first round of”.

I worked hard, I knew this duel was hard. I know people suspected me, but not my team, but I also believed in myself”, was Latiff's comment on the case with August Saint Preux.

It is noteworthy to Cormier in July 2017 that he was defeated by legendary Jon Jones for the 93kg weight title for UFC 214, but after Jones proved positive in his benefit to Cormier.
