Eddie Alvarez's chances against RDA

[AliBagaooteenov]

if you take a look at RDA's previous opponents you will see that most of them were not aggressive wrestlers that push the pace like Khabib. But Eddie Alvarez is the closest thing to that and if he can manage to smother him like he did to Pettis he has a pretty good chance of winning the fight by blanketing him or maybe even GnP.

Khabib's grappling >>>>>>> Eddie's grappling.

 

[Wizzlebiz]

Eddie has about a tree fitty % chance of winning this fight.

He just isnt who he once was anymore

 

[ortizgnp]

Eddie is tough and durable. It's gonna be a competitive fight.

 

[mmmjojo]

35%. Alvarez has the ability to make this a slow paced, ugly fight that could win him some rounds. RDA is gonna have to set the tempo early.

Alvarez sucks. Shame that Showtime could not ko that guy.

Alvarez has a very good chin but RDA has an iron chin literally after Guida messed it up

I like Eddie in this fight. He's extremely well rounded, tough, has great hands and good power.. Why not..

 

[Sonny Qc]

Not good.

very true Khabib has Judo elements in his wrasslin since he did Sambo.

I can see Eddie neutralizing RDA very possible but can he set it up with his strikes without getting KOd thats the tough part

 

[MBeezy]

I think he's a live dog. He's durable. But if I were setting odds, I'd put RDA at -300

 

[WinZip]

I'm a Philly guy so I have to hope Eddie pulls it off, but RDA is a scary dude.

Whose to say RDA can stand with Eddie? Hes been knocked out worse than Eddie has

MMA fans are so fairweather its retarded. Yea RDA beat cowboy and pettis.. Big deal. Eddie is different from either guy, and he was lighting cowboy up in the first round of their fight

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie won, RDA is not some unbeatable force like some make him out to be on here. He has been knocked out cold a few times, and has been rag dolled before. he has improved in his striking but he can be beaten on the right night

No he doesn't.

RDA will send Eddie back to Bellator

I don't deny Alvarez, I just think that his new safe grinder approach sucks.

I rather prefer RDA more agressive style. Still I expect a tough fight.

He didn't finish Cerrone in that first round when he was landing those uppercuts. Cerrone is notoriously a slow starter - see his fight with RDA for the belt as an example. Beating Cerrone in the frist round does not equate with beating Cerrone, as we clearly saw in that fight.
