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

Eddie "Chinny" Alvarez is a club fighter, he was GIFTED a title shot after being 2-1 with two split decisions against guys with negative records. In comparison, Dan Henderson was 2-1 with two KOs before being given a shot at Bisping. It was one of the most undeserving shots in HISTORY. Sad!

He beat Melendez and Pettis, how is that undeserving. Melendez and Pettis are 2 of the best to ever compete in the division, no?
 
Nothing against the TS, but that's a poor assessment of Eddie's strengths and it looks bad when you call others noobs while not breaking his skills down properly. I've watched Alvarez for a long time, these were my thoughts before the fight:

I've watched Eddie since the Dream GP, been a fan since then as well. That said, Conor matches up well with him. Eddie's not the best wrestler, his strength is in finishing fights whether it's by sub, GnP or finishing with combinations.

He doesn't have good defense anywhere. Trained a long time for 2 round fights, he's an offensive fighter who shines in fast-paced fights. But he's not the most technical striker and he's chinny, though with good recovery and a lot of heart. Suiting he's from Philly.

Conor will have success with counters in this. Eddie swings hard and leaves himself open, and gets hurt often. Power & heart are his best assets in this one. He's not gonna outbox Conor.

Well called sir.
 
To be fair, the OP was quite confident about his prediction and the backlash he is still receiving is quite understandable. It is coming from Mcgregor fan's after all.
 
You made an account on the biggest MMA forum in the world, not because you watch MMA, but because of Conor McGregor - that is pathetic.

Um, I've yet to make an account on UG. Long-time lurker of that site tho.

As far as Sherdog? I half made my username in tribute of Conor to see salty geeks like you get angry everytime his name is mentioned.

A club fighter who has one of the best resumes in LW history {<jordan}
 
Eddie is definitely a proven veteran of the sport. He might not be as physically talented as Khabib or Tony, but he has more big names on his resume. He could most definitely shown a lot more if he was able to set the fight around his strengths. But he was not in the right mindset for it.

Hard to be in the right mindset when you're getting punched by Conor.
 
Why didn't u fuck off? Ur an embarrassment!
I'm the embarrassment? Youre the one replying to posts off months ago haha. Conor won the fight and was very impressive, just don't like him or his die hard fans. A lot of the bad parts in MMA today are down to him IMO. People wanting to choose there every opponent instead of fighting who they are told to, people getting title shots when other people deserve them etc.
