Is Eddie Alvarez inside Conor McGregor’s head?

Much has been said about the UFC 205 main event between Eddie Alvarez and Conor McGregor. Firstly, there’s the issue with the featherweight title remaining undefended. After defeating Jose Aldo for the title at UFC 194, ‘The Notorious’ engaged in a duo of welterweight fights with Nate Diaz.

Heading back down to 155 pounds, many feel the UFC is giving ‘The Notorious’ a lot of additional allowances. McGregor is undoubtedly the biggest draw in UFC history, so it’s somewhat understandable. Other fighters tend to disagree on the most part, though.

Styles Make Fights

Striking is Conor McGregor’s primary style, leading us to the second most debated topic regarding this fight. How will the Irishman deal with Eddie Alvarez’s ground game? The common opinion is that Alvarez will not even attempt to stand with McGregor, and that stems from comments made before UFC 202.

‘The Silent Assassin’ said he couldn’t understand why fighters were trading strikes with McGregor. Also stating he’d ‘just take him down and dominate’ McGregor, Alvarez pretty much laid out his gameplan back in July.

Conor McGregor Goes Nuts

Speaking during last night’s media conference call, UFC featherweight boss Conor McGregor really went off. One reporter asked him about the wrestling game of Alvarez compared to former opponent Chad Mendes. It’s fair to say that ‘The Notorious’ really didn’t like this.

Alvarez remained very calm and collected, but often taunted McGregor by simply laughing and repeating the reporter’s questions for the Irishman. Here’s a transcript of exactly what McGregor’s rants went like, followed by the audio-videos.

“His wife & kids won’t recognize him”

The wrestling disadvantage, like against Chad Mendes:

“Your talking about five fights ago — that second round KO? That butchering? I changed that boy, I changed that boy also. Know that. When Frankie beat him he was damaged goods. He’s faster than you (Alvarez). He’s got better boxing than you, cleaner wrestling than you, he’s a better fighter than you! What are you talking about? You’re bigger and more stuffed! Have you seen him since? Have you seen him since he fought me? Go have a look at Nate.”

“Go speak to Nate, go look at his face. Look at Jose, how is Jose doing? Anyone that fights me, it’s over for them. It’s going to be the exact same for you, you’ll never ever ever going to be the same! Ever again in your life. Your kids after this fight  are gonna beg you ‘daddy, daddy please don’t go again!’”

“I feel they are going to see something they have never seen before. I am going to toy with this man, and I’m gonna really truly rearrange his facial structure. His wife and kids won’t ever recognize him again. His friends and the people who know him will know that he will not be the same man after this contest. He’s gonna be in a shock when he see’s that.”
