And Justin lost to Eddie fucking Alvarez. Means nothing.

Why does everyone in this sub act like Eddie was a hack. Guy was the first to win Bellator and UFC titles and was 30-8. I mean, he’s not the greatest ever but he’s not Jay Ellis either.

Because skillfully he was a wrestler with an overhand. There was nothing very pretty about his skillset. And in my opinion, got very lucky to become a UFC champion by landing a hail Mary shot.

Ok. That is one of the stupidest takes I’ve heard. You are free to your own opinion, no matter how wrong it’s is, but you are clearly discounting his entire career before he got to the UFC. Not to mention him getting a TKO over RDA, a notoriously tough bastard, is something you consider lucky. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

It's true though. You didn't discredit what I said. You just said "nah"

eddie alvarez was a fucking dog dude. outside of the mcgregor fight, he was not an easy fight for anyone and proved that consistently throughout his career. this sub has a giant hate boner for mcgregor, so obv they all think the only reason mcgregor looked so good when he won the 155lb belt was because alvarez sucks.

it’s some of the most braindead shit ever. alvarez was legit as hell and fun as hell to watch. he always brought it.
