Latifi is playing the distance game with Villante.  Not sure if that is a wise move.

Latifi needs to get aggressive.

What a horrible, horrible main card. 

Main and co-main have serious work to do.

29-28 Latifi but I could easily see Villante taking this by aggression or octagon control (hope not)
