Anyone else think Alvarez is going to destroy McGregor? I feel like its a terrible match up for him stylistically. Strong guy, good wrestling, good boxer with a chin, good cardio. But most of all Alvarez is very mentally tough and has a real traditional fighters mentality. Im not really a big fan of Alvarez but he seems to be the perfect fighter to stop McGregor. Especially in a 5 round fight. If I was Alvarez I would just tire the heck out of Connor for the 1st 2 rounds. Go for the takedown, clinch, pin him against the cage etc. McGregor is incredible at the beginning of a fight when he is fresh but he gasses pretty quickly and that could really be exploited by a wrestler.
I can see a ground and pound TKO in the 4th for Alvarez.
