Latifi originally started off in the UFC as a light heavyweight but he moved up to heavyweight for the Lewis match. The Lewis fight was very closely-contested and some believe that he should have got the nod in that fight. The last time we saw the 37-year-old Swede in the Octagon was against Lewis at UFC 247 last February. This will be his second fight at heavyweight in the UFC, where he&#8217;s 7-6 overall, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/ilir-latifi-believes-teammate-alexander-gustafsson-will-fight-again-very-soon\/\">having first made his promotional debut back in 2013 against Gegard Mousasi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Boser (19-7-1) is coming off of a controversial decision loss to Andrei Arlovski in a fight he was heavily favored to win. Though many fans and media thought the 29-year-old Canadian did enough to get his hand raised in that fight, the judges disagreed with him and the loss snapped his two-fight winning streak by KO over Raphael Pessoa and Philipe Lins. Overall Boser has a 3-2 record in the UFC and many analysts believe he has what it takes to break into the top-15. He wasn&#8217;t able to get by Arlovski in his last fight, at least according to the judges, but a win here over Latifi would help push him up the ladder.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think wins this heavyweight bout between Ilir Latifi and Tanner Boser?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A battle between heavyweights will take place at a UFC Fight Night event in June when Ilir Latifi meets Tanner Boser inside the Octagon.
