I feel like the announcers are straining themselves just to speak that language... lol. Damn, you could feel just how much they hatec each other from the second the fight started. Sikur te kishte fituar ne emrin e Kosoves.

He sort of did ... officially he's fighting for Sweden ... but as you saw in the end, he wore the flag, kuq e zi, which is enough for the Serb, lol.
This guy is freakishly strong though. Here he is sparring with Paolo Roberto, one of the commentators, who is a former professional boxer. You get the idea why I. Latifi is known as "Lyftkranen" (lifting crane).

K1 looks so similar to UFC and Pride fighting. What is the difference?

K1 looks so similar to UFC and Pride fighting. What is the difference? There is a great difference. This isn't K1. K1 doesn't allow groundfighting. It's basically kicks, knees, punches and throws. Ilir's fight is MMA, which stands for mixed martial arts. Basically, the concept is of mixing different fighting styles, such as thaiboxer vs wrestler, to use an example. Everything is allowed except poking eyes, biting, scratching. Usually people with backgrounds in jiu jiutsu, judo and similiar styles are the most successful, esp. if they're able to fight standing. This bcs most fights continue on the ground where these guys are lethal, e.g. Nogueira brothers. Boxers usually tend to do the worst, since they're unused to working with their feet and lean forward to much. Oh, and UFC & Pride are merely two organizations that organize fights alla MMA. The difference is that the former is based in the States and organizes the fights in cages, while the latter is centered in Japan and are ordinary rings like in the above fight. I always prefered the Japanese version, and some of the most colorful fighters always fought there ... but through higher salaries, UFC has gained more popularity by "stealing" over many of the fighters in Pride.

Maybe he thought this Latifi guy was a kid or grandpa. Serbs fight under those conditions.

I have to say, Skorics nice words do quite some damage since the above Alb quotes are not so modest.
Ill admit, kindess of one strong fukin weapon.

And i probably didnt even mean it either lol but seriously there wasnt much more for me to say when the Alb is obviously a better fighter. Politics and sport are 2 different things. Even the Serb gave him a little clap even though he was abit bitter about it which is ofcourse natural.
