Ilir Latifi replaces Alexander Gustafsson to fight against Gegard Mousasi in Saturday's UFC on FUEL TV 9 main event.
I'm sure nobody knows who he is but Ilir Latifi is from Sweden and training partner of Gustafsson. UFC president Dana White tweeted about the new fight just a few minutes ago:
Latifi comes into his UFC debut on a 3 fight win streak. His most recent loss was against Bellator MMA light heavyweight tournament winner Emanuel Newton in 2011. Mousasi's original opponent Alexander Gustafsson was forced out of the bout with a cut, which was confirmed by the Swedish Athletic Commission this morning.
