This has been rumoured on wiki for months,, glad to see it's finally official. BSD badly, badly needs a win here. I think he gets it done, TKO with ground and pound.

Fun fight. Not the fight I'd have picked for BSD. I can see Alvarez taking this

 

[Khaosan]

Absolute war right there, but weight bully Alvarez gets the finish.

If BSD can't get Alvarez down, I think he's going to get knocked the fuck out. He's going to have to get inside of that range, rough him up, cage fight and try to pressure him. Alvarez is huge for the division and a nasty striker. BSD will have to make this as dirty as possible and risk a KO. At range, he is likely going to take damage. A fun fight for us, and a tough fight for him.

damn, no let up for bsd, another whooping on the horizon

 

[Trupsi]

TDD of Alvarez isn't elite. BSD should be able to put him on his back and GnP à la Tsarukyan.
Just need to be careful, Joel is opportunist at catching subs with his tentacules.

Good fight. I'm never rooting for Joel Alvarez. He is not a LW. He should be fighting at WW and he has the frame to fight at MW.

You telling BSD to make it ugly and pressure is basically telling bsd to fight like BSD lol. I agree. I am curious to see if Alvarez can eat BSD's body kicks after cutting all that weight, though.

Are they trying to retire him?

End of the line for BSD?

Or is he simply serving as a stepping stone for another potential Spanish star, for a possible UFC Spain?

Alvarez is older than St Denis………..

End of the line of St Denis? I don’t even think there was a proper line to begin with him. People on here were to quick to crown as the next champ etc.
