Important Notes:

* During RDA vs Eddie, Eddie let out a little of his gameplan by telling RDA to employ a ground based assault, pressure and takedown. He made the excuse that Chad Mendes did not have the cardio due to a short camp and cardio is primary to this attack. It is very likely this fight will be fought like Anthony Pettis vs Eddie Alvarez.


----------------------------------------------------------

- Eddie Alvarez generally feints or pressured with dirty boxing into a takedown attempt against the cage

- Conor may continue to invest in the Body Shots similar to the Mendes fight. Hooker believes body shots will be key to the fight. Referencing the Cerrone fight, Cerrone was succesfull with body shots and knees, gassing Eddie.

- Believes the straight left to the body, front snap kick to the body, round-feint snap kick to the body. All of these strikes are difficult to catch into takedowns (as seen in Mendes battle).

I kind of see his point. but this post is McGregor biased. There's maany ways Eddie's game might give Conor trouble and isn't the usual "clinch against the cage to takedown". Most are underestimating his boxing skills and his counterpunching aswell..
