UFC 205: Alvarez vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread

[roomfirst]

I think this match Alvarez vs McGregor will be a good match. As always McGregor trashtalk is beyond good than his opponent. My bet for this match is under 2.5 match. I guess this match will be knockout, maybe Alvarez can win on this match.

[Clement Kaliyar]

Conor will win by knockout within the first 3 rounds. If not, it will either go the distance or Alvarez will submit him. Conor has 3 losses, all from submissions. One from 2008, one from 2010, and the most recent in 2016 by Diaz. Conor does have a longer reach than Eddie as well. If Eddie can avoid McGregor's power strikes, I think he will try to submit him. He probably knows that Conor hasn't been knocked out and it will be easier to try to lure him to the ground instead of going the full rounds. With that said I am a McGregor fan and hope he wins.

My bets will be:

McGregor by KO/TKO
Alvarez by Submission

and depending on the odds I will probably bet fight goes the distance/fight doesn't go the distance.

Alvarez is a one tough opponent and even Mcgregor knows that very well and of he can KO him that would be epic and i highly doubt that he could do so,Mcgregor is accurate with his strikes but would like to see how he goes five rounds with Alvarez as he will not slow down one bit.

Watch the difference on the people's reaction on Alvarez and McGregor.  The crowd affects the fight in various ways giving an edge to the crowd favorite sometimes.  Alvarez has to be a little extra strong mentally.

I think Conor McGregor wins tonight and I also will be playing a small parlay with McGregor, Muhammad, Carmouche and Pennington and even though 3 are underdogs I think they have a good chance at winning so I'm willing to take a small risk of $10 for this parlay @15.83 depending on which sportsbook you bet with.

The event will be starting in about 2 hours or less. Now why am I getting a funny feeling that Conor might get tired again at the 3rd round and that Eddie will start to dominate the championship rounds. I speculate that his game plan would be to get Conor tired first then start a full assault.

That will be the strategy for Alveraz, he will make him pay make him tired carrying his weight and then he will smack him all over the octagon and then he will knock him out.

Not unless McGregor can get him first.  Don't forget that he has good accuracy with his punches and kicks.  I think McGregor will make stabbing type kicks on Alvarez's body to wear him down.  That's a good chance to weaken his gas tank and make him rely on his wrestling less.

The legend and my favorite khabib nurmagomedov is smacking the hell out of Johnson watching it live and he has eaten a hell lot of punches,
here is one of my fun parlay for UFC 205

Edit:The eagle finished Johnson by third round kimura so Tony Ferguson and Kabib are hot favorites to get a shot at the title. Kabib got rocked in the opening minutes but he showed no signs of going down and he just took Johnson down at will and knocked him till he submitted in the third round .Hats off to the best grappler in the world

Throwing few units on mcgregor I believe he can beat alvarez in less than 4 rounds if not Alvarez might win by decision because mcgregor is known for his knouckout wins let's see who ends up winning tonight. Betslip

[vella85]

Muhammad loosing stuffed up my parlay bet as my 2 underdogs Carmouche and Pennington both won. So I decided to put a stack on Conor McGregor @1.65 before the odds shortened up as with most sportsbooks his at around $1.60 and under.

[Clement Kaliyar]

Yoel Romero defeated Chris Wideman in a brutal fashion which was a surprise,Romero is a freak of an athlete but never expected he could defeat Wideman in this fashion,blood was oozing out and he was laying in a pool of blood after the match and a big win for Romero in his MMA career

[absy]

It was an one sided match , McGregor dominated and sealed the victory in the second round . He almost got Alvarez in the first round but couldn't manage to capitalize the situation but he landed 3 great punches in the second round and that was enough  .

Congratulations to McGregor for holding two titles at once for the first time ever.

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.

[ultralord]

History has been made. Conor's no fucks given attitude makes him so much more entertaining to watch.

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

[tokeweed]

Woodley vs Wonderboy a draw?  What BS is this?  I was already stoked when it was announced Woodley won via split decision then that Buffer guy went back and said there was a mistake.  Damn, what BS.

For McGregor, no words.  He definitely showed that he's the UFC's best.  There won't be another fighter like him in decades.  I feel kinda lucky his era started to happen in my time.  It's kinda Muhammad Ali in boxing, most of us only read and watch about his boxing exploits in books and replays.
