UFC heavyweight Ilir Latifi has revealed he suffered multiple arm fractures during his UFC Vegas 28 win over Tanner Boser. Last Saturday night, Latifi was facing a possible release from the UFC off the back of three straight losses. However, instead of folding, he was able to dig deep and battle his way to a controversial split decision win over Boser.

UFC heavyweight Tanner Boser sent a message to UFC president Dana White and the matchmakers following his split decision loss to Ilir Latifi. Boser dropped a narrow split decision to Latifi on the UFC Vegas 28 prelims. It was a competitive fight, and Boser did more damage with his strikes, but ultimately Latifi landed some key takedowns that swayed the judges to his favor. For the second straight fight, Boser has now lost a very close decision after losing on points to Andrei Arlovski in his last outing. After starting his UFC career 3-1 and looking like a potential future contender in the UFC heavyweight division, Boser is now just 3-3 in the UFC and could potentially be cut.

Allstars Training Center representative Ilir Latifi rode takedowns and top position to a split-decision triumph over Tanner Boser in a heavyweight encounter at UFC Fight Night 189 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Michael Bell and Junichiro Kamijo submitted 29-28 tallies for Latifi, while Tony Weeks saw the fight 29-27 in favor of Boser. Latifi earned his first UFC heavyweight triumph after falling to Derrick Lewis in his debut at UFC 247.
