Alvarez wants Conor-Nate winner

[Wild]

"Initially I want the winner of Conor-Nate. I would like a big pay-per-view, big money fight. I'm willing to wait for one of them guys. I almost got in a fight with Nate in Mexico City so maybe we can settle our differences, and if Conor happens to win I welcome that fight as well.

"The number one contender in my weight class has fought once in about the last three years or something. So I'm a little nervous about fighting a guy like that who barely shows up to fight. So Conor and Nate, they're the guys on my radar, one of them I'd really like to get my hands on."

Either of them would be the biggest money least risk fight for him.

"Fight is fight. Anyone can lose."

Absolutely. Either of them are capable of beating Eddie. But they are also going to be his highest paying fights that he matches up fairly well with.

Whom is this number 1 contender who fought once in 3 years?

 

[Greenbean]

I'm a huge Eddie fan, but I feel like those are both fights that he could lose. He could be safe to take Conor down and use the Pettis game plan because Conor has quite a bit of a speed advantage in the striking dept. Nate it pretty dangerous for him because of reach and volume and of course subs. He could always kick the fuck out of nates lead leg and set up some good combos once Nate is limping. Alvarez has very underrated kicks. See his fight with Huerta.

I believe he's referring to Khabib.

I'm a big Khabib fan, and at this point even i am not sure. If he showed up healthy and in previous form, then yes i'd agree with you.

Well only person he has a chance at getting in the next year is Nate probably... I don't think the UFC will let mcgregor defend the belt once (or lose it) and then fight for the 155lb title without a contender match at 155.

I know they were gonna let him fight RDA but I don't think it'll be as easy a path this time. I could be wrong tho

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

I enjoy watching all 3 guys, but I think Eddie wins both matchups.

Eddie beats Conor because he mixes up strikes and takedowns well and I feel that is Conor's weakpoint. Nate might beat him because Eddie has a bit of trouble with long fighters. Khabib I'm really not sure.

Hate reading this: "I'm willing to wait for one of them guys."

Me too.
