UFC Champion Eddie Alvarez Doomed to Lose against Conor McGregor at UFC 205?




Written by A.G Lee

Eddie Alvarez is finally set to take on Conor McGregor at UFC 205 in the historic fight at Madison Square Garden, getting the big money fight he has been saying he's deserved for a long time. And also McGregor finally getting that superfight to be a two division champion as he's been claiming for a long time.

Eddie Alvarez had been calling for the fight with Conor McGregor for a while long before he became the UFC lightweight champion after defeating Rafael Dos Anjos in spectacular fashion at UFC Fight Night 90 : Dos Anjos vs Alvarez in Las Vegas.



Conor McGregor has always had the intention of being a two Division champion but he has the potential and opportunity to be the UFC's first active two division championship belt holder. Even with Dana White stating that Conor McGregor will have to give up a belt after his UFC 205 fight with Eddie Alvarez. But when has McGregor ever followed the script when it comes to Dana White?
Other than UFC 200 that is?

With the fight looming and Alvarez already in training and speaking about the flaws in UFC champion Conor McGregors style is he already doomed to fail?

With statements such as saying McGregor is going to be the easiest fight that he's ever had in his life. Should we as MMA fans also believe that Alvarez actually believes this statement about McGregor as well? :

"Usually when square off with a man, my heart rate goes up, I feel something," Alvarez said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I never felt so unthreatened by a human being as when I was up on a stage with him. That's the God's honest truth. I've never felt so unthreatened."

Can Eddie Alvarez be making the same mistake that cost another former champion his belt? And yes we mean Luke Rockhold. Can Eddie Alvarez make the same mistake after atleast even hearing about the huge upset and dismissive attitude Rockhold had towards the soon to be headlining champion. Also the same mistake he made losing his lightweight championship fight against Michael Chandler at Bellator 58 by RNC and taking him 2 years to reclaim at Bellator 106.

Is Eddie Alvarez doomed to failure by dismissing someone as talented as Conor McGregor a UFC champion also in his own right? Especially in a year when 70% of the UFC belts have changed hands?

Should we as MMA fans start looking towards another championship fight where one champion is nowhere in the fight before the fight even gets there, or can we as MMA fans really expect the historic superfight that we've all been waiting for?
