How is Eddie Alvarez any different than Cain Velasquez?

No it's been a sport since 2005. If it wasn't it wouldn't be on TV. I remember the debate of whether human cock fighting should be sanctioned. Clearly you don't. You sound like a casual fan. I love everything about this sport. You wanted Alvarez to go out there brawl get ko'ed and mess up his title shot chances and ultimately his career. I'm applaud the man for fighting the smart fight. Get mad at Pettis for fighting the TD and not just letting Alvarez take him down.
He's not getting a title shot like that. I will never consider mma a sport. I was a senior in high school which would be 2002 and borrowed the tapes and Frank Shamrock became my instant favorite with Vitor in second. I don't watch sports I watch mma.

I respect your opinion. And DW probably agrees with you. But don't give the man shit because he didn't attempt a suicide mission vs Pettis. He fought the smart fight. He neutralized his opponent's strength and made his opponent fight his fight.

Yeah I get it man, the game plan at play. I guess I should be mad at the rules. I just think if your going to spend that much time in control you should be putting in more damage for it to be effective control. Otherwise it's more like stalling. That's my opinion.
 
umm... well Cain dropped JDS for one thing... lol

The ref should have separated them a couple times. It wasn't a fan friendly fight. I honestly thought Alvarez was going to brawl with him. So I give him props to using his head.
 
the faces of the opponents after the fight would be a starting point
