“It is a match in Moscow on March 23 as it looks now. My opponent is a Russian who previously competed in the heavyweight, a prominent fighter. It’s a good game that could help me further in my career.” says Latifi on his blog on FightPlay.TV.

Latifi will return after his loss at Shark Fights 17 last July.  He has amassed a 4 win and 2 loss record, and trains both in Sweden and with the Blackzillians in Florida.  “Yesterday it was sparring at Pancrase Gym with Omar and the boys. It feels good and I work a lot with my timing.” says the fighter as he trains for the Glory World Series bout, which will be a celebration to Semmy Schildt.
