Is Eddie Alvarez about as basic as it gets when it comes to fight style?

The basics are often the most effective thing in combat sports, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. Nothing wrong with being basic, if it gets the job done, then that's all that matters. Eddie is a damn good fighter, one of the very best LW's in the world and has been for years. He isn't winning all of these fights against amazing fighters for no reason.
 
Yeah, this has always stuck out to me about Eddie as well. His style really is super basic. Nothing flashy and nothing really stands out.

He's just really good at those basics and has great fight I.Q. His wins over Giblert and Pettis proved that I think.
