If Gaethje throws straight punches he will win. If he throws looping bombs like Alvarez always does then it’s a toss up.

Awesome fun fight.

It's a sick sick fight.

Justin gets cracked a lot and that always worries me but as he showed in the Johnson fight he can recover really well and battle through adversity.

Eddie gets cracked a lot and has good, not great, recovery. The bad news for him is that when he gets cracked he has a tendency to drop and that's rarely a good thing to do when you have someone like Justin walking you down.

I think Justin can pull it off based on his ability to recover and the fact that he has really solid wrestling that should help when Eddie decides that standing is a terrible idea and tries to stall him against the cage as he had to do to Giblert after getting cracked in the first round.

Fun fight and the chance of the winner fighting for the title or against Poirer is fantastic.

Gaethje vs Alvarez is a coin toss.

A guaranteed FOTN and potential FOTY candidate.

If Alvarez keeps his head on straight and Gaethje goes in there with his usual wild man technique. I think Alvarez can Win.

Gaethje said himself its a matter of time before he gets KO'd.

Will Alvarez do it?

Idk.

But this fight has Fireworks written all over it. Should be great.

I didn't like how Gaethje "recovered" in that fight with Johnson. Yes, he won, and it was a great fight, but that was a brain damage fight for sure, and I found it uncomfortable to watch really.

It's a pick 'em but Eddie can definitely win this.

Eddie has a better chin and better cardio than MJ. He's gonna destroy Gaethje

Great, both seem like legit nice guys, but see Gaethje just overwhelming eddie to an eventual TKO.

I’m taking Alvarez all day. You don’t get rocked and then win a slug fest with Michael Johnson, and leapfrog Eddie Alvarez.

That’s a good point. Johnson can look great at times. I just can’t wash his Diaz/Khabib fights out of my head. 2 killers for sure and no shame losing to either guy, but he looked completely outclassed.

The Diaz fight was close..Khabib was cracked too.. Ferguson's and barbosa last losses are to Johnson.. he's just a shitty person that got humbled by gaethje.. he was saying gaethje was born out of incensed and his mom fucks her brother.. the creepiest trash talk ive ender heard.. Johnson has problems

Yeah Colby Covington called him a coke head. Not that I trust his word all that much, but it seems MJ has issues.
