Don't sleep on Arman Tsarukyan vs Joel Alvarez this weekend

Great fight. Don't always love when the UFC matches up two top prospects, but this should be a fun one between two highly skilled guys. The grappling exchanges should be wild between these two (although Alvarez would do well to try and keep this one standing as he is likely the superior striker between the two and has crazy length for the division).
 
It should be to co-main event. Whoever decides who the co-mains of these fight nights lately is should be fired.
Also Alvarez better make weight.
 
Awesome fight but really hope Alvarez makes weight or else it will really make the fight pointless for him.

He’s missed weight twice in a row and with his build/frame seems like he should be a WW but he clearly likes the height/reach advantages at LW.

Definitely a high-level fight regardless, just would like to see a contender emerge when two guys this good meet.
 
Can tell right now Arman is going to have to take the hard road to the title. He's already looking like the guy who needs to put a long win streak together.
 
Last I know from Joel is he was under 165 pounds already and the weight cut process is being monitored by the UFC P.I. He also travelled to Vegas a week earlier than the previous fight.
This training footage was taken at the P.I. during the weekend and released today in UFC Spanish Official Youtube channel. I'm pretty sure he'll make weight:
