Are we getting greedy now?

We’ve already got a stellar card in place for UFC Dublin and, presuming that Aisling Daly and the Team Ryano lads get added to the event, there’s not a whole lot missing.

But what about the Swedish knockout artist who endeared himself to the Irish fight fans by showing up to the weigh-ins last July with hurley in hand?

Ilir Latifi wants to fight on the banks of the Liffey once more as he has campaigned for a bout against the tough-as-nails Fabio Maldonado on October 24th.

The Sledgehammer wants to find out what wins when some of the heaviest hands at 205 lbs meet one of the greatest chins at 205 lbs as he took to Facebook this evening.

Brazil’s Maldonado can eat a knee to the face like it’s a delightful cocktail sausage but can he take the right hand of Latifi?

We don’t ask for a whole lot but we really want to see this happen.
