Y'all really have no clue who Eddie Alvarez is do you?

It never makes sense to be so confident with your predictions. There's always a 50% chance your guy doesn't win.

To me things seem a little murky before the fights, I can take a guess, sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong.

Everything is so clear after the fight though right?

There is a stereotype amongst Sherbros that Conor McGregor fans by large are relatively new to the sport and do not watch much else MMA wise other than him. This point is being proven by the minute, since the announcement of his fight with Eddie Alvarez.

Y'all really never seen Eddie have you? Perhaps 1 or 2 of his fights, right?

You may have seen him lose to Cerrone, his boring win over Pettis or even the dos Anjos TKO...

Michael Chandler? Shinya Aoki? Those names mean anything to you? ... Nah, I didn't think so.

Just for educational purposes, Eddie Alvarez has it fucking ALL!

- The guy has KO power in both hands.
- Crisp, technical boxing.
- Solid wrestling, with very good ability to control from the top position.
- Underrated and sneaky BJJ, takes the back very easily.
- Cardio for days, looks the same in rounds 4 and 5 as the first round.
- Heart for days. Let you knock him down or rock him, if his body lets him he'll keep coming.

People keep saying that Conor will defeat him with ease on the feet...

You do know Eddie's chin is probably just as good as Nate Diaz, you know Nate, the guy that Conor couldn't put away in almost 35 minutes of fighting?

Conor has a chance, he always does when it's standing, but stop talking about Eddie Alvarez like you even know who he is or have followed his career at all.

WAR ALVAREZ!

You couldn't be more wrong.

You must be a total numbskull if you think one bad prediction means you know nothing about the sport.

I called Masvidal to finish Cerrone, Diaz to beat Johnson, Woodley to KO Lawler, Alvarez to KO dos Anjos. So yeah, because I thought Alvarez would beat McGregor, I clearly know nothing about MMA.

I guess all of those fans who thought Rousey would beat Nunes, all do not know an iota about MMA either right? Based off of one bad prediction.

Also, to address your second point - I'm one fan, and all I was pointing out is the cold hard truth, that the vast major of Conor fanboys were picking 1st round KO for McGregor, when they didn't even know who Eddie Alvarez was. Was my prediction an Alvarez win, yes it was, but nowhere in this thread did I ever say oh Eddie will walk through him because of X, Y and Z. The whole point of the thread was to show how stupid these guys are, when they are making predictions on a fight where they don't even know anything about the second competitor. These guys would literally sit there and pick Conor over everyone, without a second thought - just out of blind love for a man.

I was wrong in my prediction, but I was not wrong in the vast majority of my OP statements - very few fans knew who Eddie was and they still don't know him now.

Simple concept to understand when you actually read the OP and don't just jump on the wagon.

What year did you start watching MMA, and please be honest?

Your account AV is a picture of a man is flesh coloured underwear with a semi. Your account name is a generic shout-out to the same man in your AV.

The man we speak of hasn't even been competing in the UFC for more than 5 years, and to the naked eye, it appears that you got into the sport because of one man.

Please educate me.
 
Well as a guy who picked Conor to win, NBR was (and still is) right. Eddie has a pretty good game with a broad skill set and solid physical attributes. The fact that Conor crushed him says more about individual performances and how good Conor is, than how bad Eddie is.

Except that you were completely wrong in your OP and now you're trying to pretend that you weren't. So who's really the ignorant one here?

I'm still an Alvarez fan and always will be, but he got murked by Conor and you need to get over it.

This is true. Eddie is still a great fighter and his loss to Conor doesn't negate that. Instead, it simply goes to show how good Conor really is. But the people pissing on Conor need to stop pretending that Conor isn't that good or that his fans are "new to the sport" or "casuals" - those "casuals" picked the fight better than the "experts" and now it's time for those "experts" to get off their high horses.

Eddie is a great fighter. Period. Conor is a great fighter. Period. Can we leave it there instead of trying to shit on one or the other, or turn it into a "you're not a real fan!" argument?

Except that Conor isn't 0-0 at 155 is he, noon.
 
this thread is getting some serious mileage.
 
This makes me cringe.

He acted like Eddie was a close friend of his and that nobody knew anything about MMA.
