Would You Be Interested in Seeing Cerrone vs. Thiago Alves?

[Gabe]

I am not sure which weight class Cerrone's next fight will be but if he chooses to stay at 170 I think that could be a good fight for him. He would likely be at a tremendous weight disadvantage on fight night given Alves could fight at 185 but I think it would be a good stylistic match-up given both of their styles. What do you think?

 

[johncola]

Sure, because I'm an MMA fan.

I dunno that Alves cuts that much weight anymore. He was considering a move to 155. So he must be lighter now. Benson Henderson was set to fight him in Seoul before his rib injury.

Cowboy would have height and reach on him. I don't think he'd be able to take him down. I could see it going either way on the feet.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

It would definitely be a good fight for people to get a proper feel of where Cerrone is in the WW division and I have no doubt it would be an exciting fight to watch.

 

[The5thgod]

I'd put my money on Cowboy.

 

[lykae23]

This fight could be at 170 or 155, but either way I think Cowboy would tear him up. Cerrone is a slow starter, but if he guards himself he would probably stop Alves. As long as he doesn't pull a Mein (rip Thiago apart and then get caught to the body), Cerrone would be fine. Hell, he trains with Condit so those two could discuss some strategy there.

 

[Darwinambrosius]

Yes, but Thiago would wax that ass.

 

[Frode Falch]

Sure. But thiago Alves by bodykick tko

 

[Sonny Qc]

Every time I can see a healthy Thiago Alves I'm happy. Would be a fun match-up! why not

 

[priderulez]

Now thats an awesome fight right there. I like your thinking

 

[Spycho]

Would be a good fight. This or Cerrone-Larkin.

 

[VinceArch]

I'd favor Alves in that fight. I think if Cerrone wants to compete at 170 again let him go against Tarec or Hyun Gyu Lim.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I'd favor Alves in that fight. I think if Cerrone wants to compete at 170 again let him go against Tarec or Hyun Gyu Lim.

I think Tarec is actually ranked higher than Alves.

 

[L0ki]

Yes.

Both guys are exciting as Hel to watch.

However, it would be good to see Cowboy matched up with someone of a higher ranking.

It's going to be fun to see how Cowboy does against Condit, Robbie, and co.

 

[VinceArch]

I think Tarec is actually ranked higher than Alves.

It can't be by much. Tarec beat a scared Ellenberger and Thiago while coming off a loss, had a two win streak going for him.

 

[jx820]

That's a fun fight, but I'd rather see him fight someone who's on their way up the rankings.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

It can't be by much. Tarec beat a scared Ellenberger and Thiago while coming off a loss, had a two win streak going for him.

Depends on what rankings you go by, but UFC rankings are #10 Tarec and #13 Alves. I wouldn't mind him facing either to be honest.

 

[Clam]

Hell yes.
