This is a hell of a match-up I think would make for a great headliner or debut fight for Eddie. I hope it happens if Eddie is lucky enough to get out of Bellator and over to the UFC. How do you see this fight going? Would be a pretty hardcore debut fight, but great nonetheless.
Maynard win via TKO in round 1 if Mazzogotti is the ref since he'll jump in as soon as Eddie is rocked.
Alvarez has better cardio and is a bit more dynamic with his striking. I also don't think he'd grapple fuck Alvarez either. I'd go with Alvarez.
One of many intriguing matchups for Alvarez. I see Maynard struggling to impose his wrestling but his power on the feet does pose a significant threat to Alvarez who is prone to getting dropped. Alvarez is also very dangerous. Tough to pick.
i think this is one of the top 3 worst fights for Eddie. Gray doesn't knock a lot of people out but he can hit hard. Eddie is hittable. As was said, it does depend on the ref, which is funny. I think Eddie could also hurt Gray and win a 5 round fight. I think 3 could help Gray. Awesome match up and GIANT opportunity for a ref to completely fuck it up.
Maynard UD. Eddie gets rocked nearly every fight and I think this fight would follow suit. If it was 5 rounds I would have a harder time choosing though.
Gosh, I think we all see this fight pretty much the same. What I am looking for from Maynard is growth. He has potential to get better and if he does he would be a real monster.
If Eddie survives the inevitable big punch from Maynard I think he takes this by decision or even KO via well roundedness, speed and cardio.
