    UFC 205: Alvarez vs McGregor (Sat. Nov. 12, 2016) New York, NY

    UFC 205

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    UFC 205: Alvarez vs. McGregor
    Information
    Promotion Ultimate Fighting Championship
    Date November 12, 2016
    Venue Madison Square Garden
    City New York City, New York
    Event chronology

    UFC 205: Alvarez vs. McGregor
    is an upcoming mixed martial arts event promoted by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will be held on November 12, 2016 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.[1]

    Background

    This event will be the first UFC event hosted in New York City. It will also be the first UFC event hosted in the State of New York after the longtime professional MMA ban was revoked in early 2016. To this point, UFC 7 was the only event contested in the state, taking place in September 1995 at Buffalo.[1]

    The UFC worked tirelessly to surpass the law that forbade professional mixed martial arts events in the state, including a drastic measure: they announced an event (UFC 197) for the Madison Square Garden, despite the ban still being in effect.[2] However, it was announced that a preliminary injunction allowing the promotion to hold the event was denied by a federal judge.[3] The event was eventually moved and contested in the promotion's home base of Las Vegas, Nevada.


    Madison Square Garden will host the much anticipated New York City debut of the UFC.

    Main card: three title bouts, including a champion vs. champion contest


    The event is expected to be headlined by a UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Eddie Alvarez and current UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor.[4] This will be the second time in UFC history that champions in different divisions will fight for the same title. The first time was at UFC 94 on January 31, 2009, when then-welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre defended his title against then-lightweight Champion B.J. Penn.

    Alvarez was originally expected to make his first title defense against undefeated contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, but it was announced on September 21 that Alvarez missed the contract deadline for the bout and in consequence it was expected to take place at UFC 206 in December.[5] Meanwhile, McGregor was previously expected to challenge for the lightweight title at UFC 196 in February against then champion Rafael dos Anjos. Dos Anjos eventually pulled out due to a broken foot and the bout never materialized.[6]


    Alvarez (left) is going to defend his belt for the first time, while McGregor (right) has not defended his since winning it against José Aldo at UFC 194 in December 2015.

    In the co-main event slot, will be a UFC Welterweight Championship bout between current champion Tyron Woodley and five-time kickboxing world champion Stephen Thompson is expected to take place at this event.[7]

    A third title fight, a UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between the current champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Karolina Kowalkiewicz is also expected to be part of the card.[8] The duo met previously in their amateur days in 2012, when Jędrzejczyk defeated Kowalkiewicz via submission in the Amatorska Liga MMA Tournament final.[9]

    Former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman and 2000 Olympic silver medalist and former world champion in freestyle wrestling Yoel Romero have been slated for this portion event.[10]

    A welterweight bout between former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler and former lightweight title challenger Donald Cerrone was the first confirmed bout of the event.[11] However, just a few days after the announcement, it was revealed the Lawler decided to take a little more time to get ready for the fight after losing his title via knockout at UFC 201.[12] He was replaced by The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen middleweight winner Kelvin Gastelum, who was scheduled to face Jorge Masvidal one week earlier than the event.[13]

    Opening the main card will be a women's bantamweight bout between former Strikeforce and UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate and Raquel Pennington.[14][15]

    Preliminary card: former champions and title challengers stack the under-card

    A featherweight contest between former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar and Jeremy Stephens is also scheduled to take place at the event.[16]

    Despite being originally expected to face Alvarez, Khabib Nurmagomedov will face Michael Johnson instead in a potential lightweight title eliminator.[17]

    A pair middleweight bouts between Tim Kennedy and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and divisional newcomer Rashad Evans,[18] as well as Tim Boetsch against Rafael Natal are slated for this portion of the event.[16]

    A lightweight bout between Al Iaquinta and former welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves was previously linked to UFC 202.[19] However, the pairing was initially delayed and was expected to be contested at this event.[20] Subsequently, Iaquinta announced on September 19 that he pulled out due to a contract dispute with the promotion.[21] He was replaced by Jim Miller.[22]

    To complete the card, there will be a welterweight bout between former Bellator Welterweight Champion Lyman Good and Belal Muhammad,[23] and a women's bantamweight bout between former title challenger Liz Carmouche and Katlyn Chookagian.[24]

    A light heavyweight bout between Gian Villante vs. Marcos Rogério de Lima was briefly linked to the event.[25] However, Villante pulled out of the fight on September 21 citing injury and the bout was scrapped.[26]

    How could Eddie win this fight? McGregor does suck on the ground.. Probably a no hedge for me...

    I think the longer it goes, the more likely it is for Alvarez to win. I'll definitely hedge since I have a pretty big play on McGregor. Maybe live-betting Alvarez after R1 at very good plus odds?

    Agreed.. Goes past 2 rounds probably Eddies fight to win after that... BIG IF THOUGH? Live betting a sure option..

    Don't think Eddies chin will hold up once McGregor starts connecting early on and fresh.. Doubt this one gets out of the 1st...

    Well, we are not on the same page with that RDA and El Cucuy scrap.. ....

    I just don't see how anyone can bet against wild man Tony Ferguson right now?????.. When a fighter wins 8 fights in a row at the UFC level that's a winning streak that is typically hard to break... RDA is solid though I can't lie...

    I think Eddie is gonna have to pull one of these kicks out of his asss to beat McIrish...




    If he's smart he'll try to take McGregor down but that is not easily done.. Eddie doesn't have the best doubles, singles or trips either.. Average at best... I think Eddie will have to set up a take down with a good shot first then anything is possible..



    Unfortunately Eddie has been a punching bag for elite strikers and chances are McGregor busts him up early and often.. Just my take..




    End result Eddie looks like this after the fight...

    and his striking is nothing special. Could be amazing if he actually trained how to box and fight without getting hit in the head over and over. Until then he will keep rolling the dice like he has been doing since day 1 minus conor/diaz 2

    I have to take Tony in this one. Don't know why, but I always find a strong fighter who has just lost a big fight, usually lays an egg in his next one. I don't think RDA bounces back, and Tony will be a tough out.

    If you guys actually want to win money on this card, follow my thread, which I'll post a couple days out. I stay away from the sycophants, trolls, inane and oblivious in the main threads. For those who want to get money in early, Alvarez and Khabib in a two teamer is almost free plus money.

    See ya!

    Nice personal thread promoting.. Sound alot like Joshknows right before he went tout.. I'm sure we will see a link posted to your website soon...

    Why don't you post your picks pending on the event thread more often and that will help you build your fan base and hype... One day maybe you then could be the gambling king of MMA if you are really that good

    I think McGregors only chance is the knockout in the first with a lucky punch like what he did with Aldo. McGregor knows this and predicts his only chance of winning the first round ko. Eddie gonna break McGregor. Cowboy was hot and it was Eddies first fight and I think he gassed himself in the first round and pretty sure he might have hurt his leg during or in the camp.before fight. Nonetheless, Good luck McGregor backers. #AndStill 11.12.16

    Eddie already beat the harder fight in RDA, bet your house on Eddie and thank me later. Michael Johnson got me my houses back.

    lol this thread .... people comparing rda to mcgregor 2 completely different fighters, saying conor sucks on the ground because he got subbed when he was basically out??? i dont think a shitty ground fighter sweeps nate diaz gets ontop and stays there??? people see one movement or example and think its set in stone gotta look at the bigger picture imo.. this is again another extremely close fight basically a toss up like the diaz matchup both guys have ways to win and its no landslide for either people saying they know whos gonna win dont know just a pointer for everybody following this thread.... fights like this you go with your gut feeling and hope the guy comes out ontop theres no huge edge , eddies been dropped before, conors been shown to get taken down either man can win lets see who wants it more on ufc 205 but stop dropping bs like bet a house on this guy, follow my thread for money you dont know shiet amigo whos gonna tail and follow with big money for a coin flip fight lmaooo id rather watch it and enjoy the fight and bet on an actual fight that as a real edge for betting purposes.. just because its a big fight doesnt mean you need to bet big $ thats what the bookies want you to do and thats why the public stays losing $ in the long run ... but thats just my opinion

    ^^ Well Fire I said McIrish sucks on the ground because Mini Chad Mendes owned and controlled him on the ground coming in on short notice... Nate got McGregor down advanced to full mount and McGregor couldn't wait to get out of that first fight by giving up his neck..

    His ground may not suck but it surely hasn't been proven to be good thus far.. McGregor strength is in his boxing and striking period..

    If Nate would have gotten McGregor down in the 2nd fight I bet he would have sub'd him again.. Nate has no take downs and the fight stayed standing the entire time.. Fight probably stays standing with Eddie as well..

    i just dont really believe the notion his ground game sucks tbh, mendes has the best takedowns at 45 and crushes anybody ontop, he went for a sub and mcgregor escaped it perfectly stood up and finished him...he looked super relaxed on bottom and never looked to threatened tbh, and against diaz he was dazed not much you can do when youre basically out and an amazing black belt is ontop of you, the same fight mcgregor swept him from bottom and went ontop landing strikes when they were both at there wits i take that into account more , he completely controlled holloway ontop with a torn acl as well... not saying hes like a top notch ground player but he definitely doesnt suck by any means, training for years everyday with gunnar nelson wouldnt allow that to happen imo.. of course his bread and butter is striking so we dont get to see much of his ground skills but i like his flowy style when i watch training videos of course if he faced a top notch wrestler like khabib at 55 he would probably get smothered but thats the case for any 55er in the world so , if he sucked on the ground mendes wouldve subbed him with that guillotine and a shitty jiu jitsu player would never ever sweep a diaz brother... regardles i think eddies wrestling style will be more clinch and grinding against the cage not shooting doubles trying to mount mcgregor but well see.. im hoping for a straight stand up war where eddie is no slouch whatsoever there either even if its straight stand up itll be an epic war

    still on mcgregor lets get that tko but theres definitely much better spots to bet on this card for value reasons

    - Bas Rutten gave his analysis on Eddie Alvarez vs Conor McGregor he also gave his predictions for Wonderboy vs Woodley, and Joanna champion vs Karolina and went over the rest of the UFC 205 card on a recent episode of Rutten and Ranallo. Another great podcast...for the entire show you can listen at ruttenandranallo.com

    If his striking was so great, How come he didn't knock out Diaz? Running the whole time and fought him twice. Josh Thompson put out Diaz in the first try... #CMONMAN

    He knocked out a top 3 p4p legend in his prime in 13 seconds ....... People acknowledge Aldo as a top striker in mma history lmao what are you talking about Chael is this actually Chael sonnen trolling the forum ? Shitty strikers get 17/20 victories by tko/Ko 85% clip at a lower weight now jeeze

    and diaz is a top notch mma boxer he beat him standing up? Thompson landed like 2 full head kicks and didn't even knock Diaz out that must mean cerrone, Rory McDonald, RDA, Michael Johnson , gomi all suck at striking to

    Are you guys for real?

    Diaz was tko'd after eating a flush highkick in which he leaned into in addition to the accumulation of strikes which ended the bout. He stood up immediately after the stop. Thats what you call an elite chin, holmes.

    On the other hand he knocked out guys like Aldo and Poirier which have never been stopped by strikes before up until that moment.

    Im pretty sure that you need a chin like Nate to hang in there. Eddie is in trouble.
