Is Alex vs. Israel one of the most epic combat sports rivalries of all time?

[matrixremaster]

Yes. And it’s the greatest rivalry in UFC history already.

There's a ton of buzz around the ppv.

Even casual fans I know who don't follow the sport regularly were talking about it.

Honestly if Alex is making 185, cleared to go in say 6 months and not diminishing himself performance wise they might as well just finish the rivalry now and setup the MMA trilogy. There is no other fight to make at MW....not a single one that makes any sense....after that regardless of who wins or loses it will be in the history books as one of the greatest.

It's up there with one of the best rivalries of all the time. Some other notables include JDS vs Cain, St-Pierre vs Hughes, and the best one, DC vs Jones.
