UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez believes he has faced far more accomplished strikers than Conor McGregor, and is adamant he has all the tools in his repertoire to be able to do whatever he wants to the UFC Featherweight Champion.

“I’ll do whatever the fuck I want, in any aspect against him.”

“If I want to stand.. I’ll stand, he don’t move his head, he gets hit a tonne.”

“The opponents he has fought have allowed him to look great. That’s the issue, that’s what these WWF fans who follow him don’t see. They see a guy who’s fighting or playing to his strengths”

The “Underground King” faces McGregor in a super fight for Alvarez’ World lightweight championship title at UFC 205 in New York, November 12.
