Eddie Alvarez v. LW Division

[Muaythai91]

If he managed to lose to Cowboy, he should fight Barboza.

It would be a step down but such a fun fight

He can't beat Pettis, Melendez, or Khabib.

 

[Brettd1031]

I can see him beating jim miller and josh tompson the rest im pretty iffy on

 

[RonnyB]

he didn't get hurt at all in the chandler fights or the pitbull fight?

No, he wasn't at all. Eddie even stated during the Pitbull fight that he was never hurt just off balance, jimmy smith made it sound like a crime scene. If you watch on mute there's no evidence of Eddie being hurt. Eddie is always honest about being rocked too.

 

[RonnyB]

He beats everyone IMO... Most of them potentially can beat him as well.... I think Pettis and Gil have the best chance. No way does Khabib have a better than average chance.

 

[MCS]

Pettis is his toughest fight, then Khabib, while Gil's wrestling would decide that, him being good enough on the feet. Eddie prolly takes the rest.

RDA would be the funnest fight out of those, two good boxers who go for it.

 

[Fbed]

All except Pettis.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I think he's the favorite over everyone but Pettis and Khabib.

 

[robjenkins2]

Always wanted to see him and Nate fight, think it would be great.

 

[mmascene]

All of them except Melendez and Pettis.

 

[GrAtI]

All of them except Pettis,Khabib,Melendez

Eddie Alvarez against any of the top 6 are most of the only fights in this div that interest me.

 

[EJRMAN513]

I'd favor Khabib and Pettis against him. A fight with Thomson is pretty even imo. Everyone else, his chances of winning are pretty high.

 

[Heat Vision]

Can he beat them all? Yes

Will he beat them all? No

 

[GSPenn1991]

I think he has a chance of beating everyone. I'm looking forward to all his ufc fights.

 

[ReadWrite]

If Alvarez had joined the UFC a few years ago, I think he could have become champ. Now I don't see it. He's still prime, but the division is better than it's ever been. I agree with the polls: on paper Bendo v. Alvarez is a great 50-50 fight. The UFC could fast track him to a titlefight with a win over the former champ (#4).

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Not since three years ago and before he trained under the same striking coach as Tyrone Spong and Vitor Belfort, but nice try.

Eddie is the best boxer in the LW division bar none and should make serious waves in the UFC. I think his fight with Cowboy won't be very long and is going to shock a lot of people.

looks like UFC ranked him right where he belongs

 

[Shammon]

loooooooool

Khabib was right.

"Alvarez no have good wrestling."

 

[Overnoww]

After watching this fight I think the only guys he has a shot against are Miller, Thomson, and Green. Honestly after watching this fight I think Eddie should go to 145 if he can. Even there I don't think he's top 5.
