Prediction: wrong Latifi   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Have a feeling Latifi gets over the contender hump in this one.

Prediction: correct Bader   wrong Decision  

Surprised majority are picking Latifi so far, this is a massive step up for him and I don't think he's faced someone with takedowns comparable to Bader's.

Prediction: wrong Latifi   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

Wishfull thinking pick here ... Bader's not going to be able to outwrestle Latifi that easily, time to see if that glass chin of his can hold up when he's forced to stand and not just when he decides to.

Is Latifi's TDD that good?

Could easily see Bader playing wet blanket but I just see Latifi landing something big.

Prediction: wrong Latifi   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

@rappinpap, don't really know, it hasn't been tested that much but I think he was on the Swedish national team or something of the sort for a period of time before he dropped it and picked up MMA (EDIT:: he finished 3rd in the Swedish nationals Greco-Roman in 2005).

I doubt his wrestling is on par with Bader's but he's a super strong and explosive dude with solid wrestling so I'm hoping Bader won't find it that easily to outgrapple him (which is what Bader does when he gets stuck with that mediocre striking of his that everyone seems to think has become amazing).

Not a clever pick on my behalf, but this cannot be denied:

Prediction: correct Bader   wrong Decision  

If he's only done Greco, which is rare in America but not in some countries, it's possible he has a tough time with the leg attacks of bader. Baders primarily a double or single guy,rarely looking for upper body tds. I like the match up, I doubt I'll go agains Bader,but I really don't know how it'll play out

Latifi got that stupid power and bader has been out out a couple of times. Bader won't be able to outmuscle him either.

Even after you've seen that Latifi is secure enough with his manhood to be in the presence of old man nudity?

. . . Latifi has a path to victory other than flash KO?

or Bader treating him like his Rumble Johnson and diving at his feet?

are the odds this close just because people hate Bader and adore Latifi this much?

@rappin I guess people hate on Bader for the meathead jock vibe he gives off

but dude is super consistent at beating opponents outside of the elite (assuming Tito had a really good throwback day, that one time)
