Ilir Latifi calls for UFC title fight vs. Daniel Cormier: ‘Let’s rumble in NYC!’

Light heavyweight contender Ilir Latifi unfortunately had to withdraw from this Sunday’s UFC Hamburg card due to injury, but that isn’t stopping him from asking for a title shot.

Latifi, who was originally scheduled to face Glover Teixeira, took to Instagram to call out two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier, who intends to defend both the light heavyweight and heavyweight belts before retiring.

@dc_mma Mister Pound for Pound! Lets give the fans the best possible show at LHW! Shogun is a legend, and a great fighter, but I’m the only one at the top of LHW that has 5 wins out of my last 6 with 3 KO’s and 1 submission in the first round!
