But seriously, best of luck to Thiago! He has IMO best pure standup @ WW (check my vote on the poll)
yeah, he suffered multiple injuries, torn muscle in the chest before UFC 149, + he injured his knee afterward...he decided to take some time off to get back at 100%. He mentionned a return around mid 2013, cant wait. Alves is a beast, very well rounded, top muay thai striker with underrated wrestling and grappling. Only weight issues and brainfarts prevent him from being a publicly acclaimed top 5 ww. Lets see if he can get that shit out of the way from now on.
