UFC 205: Alvarez vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread

[Clement Kaliyar]

McGregor just knocked out Alvarez lol he killed Alvarez! Easy money won here and most of us on this forum would of won as most had McGregor winning this fight. I'm just a little upset I lost my parlay but I made up for it with McGregor winning his fight. Congrats Conor McGregor on the win.

now i started to believe in the hype train called Mcgregor he just defeated who i thought would smash connor ,lost my parlay but UFC205 had one of the best fights in the history of the sport with Woodley and Thomson ending up being a draw which was one hell of a fight.

I'm still in disbelief that he got out of the choke. I really thought it was over at that point.

that was one bloody coke and woodley was choking the wind out of him and at one time i thought he passed out but then he came back and fought out till the bell .it is probably the best fight of the year and i am sure a rematch will be pretty soon between them .Directbet did not have an odd for this match .

i really dont understand what is the problem with Connor Mcgregor ,the only time i bet for him to win was the first fight between Nate Diaz and i lost big time and the first time i waged a bet against him was the Aldo match, made bet left and right for that match under 2.5 for Aldo ,Aldo to win and so on and when i was watching that fight it started and ended just like that i could not even understand what was happening . fast forward to the present situation after a close fight with Nate again i thought he some how managed to win that battle and Alvarez could beat him to the pulp and i was again aggressive here wagging bet against Connor and now what happened is history .Hats off to all that favored Mcgregor

Wow, what a fight. There's a reason why odds shot up from -134 a couple days ago to -170 prior to the beginning of the fight. Sharps were all over McGregor. I was planning to bet 2nd round to be completed @ -140, and I'm sure as hell glad I didn't haha

Great performance from Conor McGregor, who becomes the first UFC fighter to ever hold two UFC world titles in two weight classes at the same time. I thought that McGregor was outmatched moving up in weight to challenge Alvarez, but he proved all his doubters wrong. His power is the true equalizer and he showed that he can hurt and knock out anyone in that weight class. Now the question becomes if he will try to move down to the Featherweight division and try to defend his world title there, or vacate that title and focus on the Lightweight division.

I just saw the fight because I was too tired to stay awake until it started, so I went to a website and saw it. Well, what can I say? It's really awesome how McGregor handled it. The combination of punches that KO'd Eddie were awesome, he's so quick and sharp.

I didn't gamble because I wasn't sure so I didn't win or lose any money.

Now the Mayweather vs McGregor rumors seem to begin again.

It was an awesome card! The fight between Woodley and Thompson started to bore me up till 2nd round but when Woodley chocked Thompson and Thompson managed to hang on till the bell rings is truly amazing. Bruce Buffer made a Steve Harvey by announcing that its a split decision and hand over the win to Woodley then Bruce went back to the ring to take it back and announced that its a majority draw.

McGregor and Alvarez fight made me stay standing although out the fight. Alvarez tried but came short on this fight. Alvarez admitted that he did not stick to the game plan and paid the price for that.

Over all UFC 205 had a great line up of fighters. It will take some time again before UFC will come up with the same kind of exciting line up.

I just recently saw the fight. I havent seen the way alvarez fights like that. He may be not in the 110% condition it is just because mcgregor is too good."they are not on my level" whos next?

i did watching too this fight and since the beginning of fight Alvarez has knockout by McGregor it's looks like McGregor has very enjoyed and very dominate the fight and this time McGregor is more confident and also he fight with very entertaining and he has deserve to win

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Too easy for McGregor, I knew Alvarez wasn't up to it. He was outclassed from the moment the fight started. I'm surprised he lasted as far as the second round tbh.

Alvarez not even in the same league as Conor.

[hackahammer]

Conor McGregor @ Eddie Alvarez - it's obviously Conor dominated the fight, keeping his distance with cheap shots that knocked out Alvarez on the ground.

Tyron Woodley @ Stephen Thompson - battle of the night for me, that round 4 tho, how thopmson survived that round, he gained much respect that night. Waiting for the rematch.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk @ Karolina Kowalkiewicz - what an absolute war, close match tho,

Yoel Romero @ Chris Weidman - unexpected match flying knee to the head!

Raquel Pennington @ Miesha Tate - boring match, I think Miesha Tate will retire after the fight.

Oh please.  I would rather watch McGregor vs Ferguson in a real MMA fight than watch Mayweather fight him.  And from what I hear, Mayweather wants a lot of rules and limitations set up if he fights.  He's just out there for the money and to stay relevant.  I say Conor should just avoid fighting vs him if it wasn't by his rules.

Let's face it, boxing is dying in a real way.  There's just no growing interest in it if you compare it to MMA and especially the UFC.  This is its golden age and we should feel lucky to have lived in a time to witness it happen before our eyes.

This guy may really be the biggest star in the UFC right now. This is mcgregor's era. Well yeah alvarez is a good fighter as well but as mcgregor said " they are not on my average" and he continue proving this one. I am much more excited on his next oponent.

His (Conor) performance in UFC 205 is superb, he is cool and wait for the right timing to throw his jabs. He did not panicked when Alvarez tried to take him down. After every knock down, he checks if there's an opportunity to finish Alvarez, unlike others when they knock down their opponent, they immediately follow up with a barrage of punch or hammer fist but sometimes it backfires one example is the first match of Lesnar and Mir.

Conor's mic skills is his strength and he is quite accurate when he throws a punch last weekend. It's going to be another box office hit if UFC will push for the Conor vs Nate 3 but there are some articles written after UFC 205 that Woodley also wants a piece of Conor.

I was also able to see those, the other thing that i saw about how gregor fight is that he open his fingers and try to hold  alaverz arms which is so annoying for alvarez of course, and that stabbing front kick is keeping gregor from his phase. I think woodley would be to heavy for conor but let's see on what is going to happen

McGregor needs Mayweather if he wants a 9 figure payday, and even if Mayweather is rich for life and retired, if he is offered a 9 figure payday, he will come out of retirement because he is a businessman at the end of the day.

Im pretty sure McGregor is really interested in seeing the fight happening, and he will accept Mayweather rules (basically a regular boxing match) because again, Mayweather is the strong hand in the negotiations. I think he has like 1% chance of winning against Mayweather in a boxing match, but everyone is going to see that fight like it or not, which is why a lot of people think it's very possible that it happens.

There will be millions of dollars in bets alone that night. I know if the fight happens, im going all in on Mayweather.

[thejaytiesto]

Honestly McGregor had the reach advantage.... he had same height as Alvarez, with a big ass advantage in reach! how is this possible? is it only because his arms are longer?

Reach advantage is a major key in fights... this fight was a safe bet for McGregor, but so was the Hillary win bet, and she lost.. so you ever know.. beware when going all in on something that seems impossible to be lost, that small % of lossing may cost your entire net worth.

[bbc.reporter]

@thejaytiesto. Are you saying that Conor had the total advantage due to his longer reach alone? This has not been a problem for Alvarez in his past fights, so why mention this now? Conor won because he was clearly the better fighter. He was fast, had good timing and was precise with his punches and kicks. What does he need to do to prove himself to the doubters?

A loss is a loss, there still time for the two to fight again in the future, it was a good fight indeed but I can tell already that Conor is gonna win the game, he is so aggressive and has a good work ethics. Sadly, I miss to be the game because I was busy on my work, can anyone tell me what is the odds for betting with Conor on the fight? Should be a better odds because he was the challenger..

I don't think so.  Alvarez is done and a non factor now as long as McGregor is concerned.  The fight was a one sided affair and there wasn't even a peep from Alvarez except for the couple of leg kicks thrown in the first round. 

However if the fight was close and came like the McGregor vs Diaz II fight then who knows, Alvarez might be given a shot in a big money fight vs Conor again.  For now, McGregor is going for bigger and better match ups.

I was away for the weekend and finally just got a chance to watch the fight. I was
avoiding all the threads and all the sports news lol.

Wow I think it's fair to say Mcgregor is the most polarizing fighter
since Mike Tyson. I know mayweather is great but was  kinda boring and just
so good at defense.
