– Ilir Latifi spoke with mmajunkie.com following his UFC Fight Night 81 victory over Sean O’Connell. Here are the highlights…

On Letting His Fighting Speak For Itself: “Some people talk more than they train. “I’d rather work hard and let my fights talk for themselves. I finish my fights, and I always try for the finish. That’s my style.”

On The Finish of His Fight: “I think he was out,” Latifi said. “It’s unnecessary to get more punches. I think the UFC is judging good because they’re thinking about the wellness of the fighters to have a long and healthy career.”

On His Goals: “I want to climb closer to that title shot,” Latifi said. “I want to fight top-10 (opponents) and want to do a main event in my home town in Sweden.”
