Cant see why Alves is a underdog here... @ +130 that is a steal..

alves all the way! this guy has been tearing up the welterweight division lately. he's relentless.

i think kos is going to get caught by a knee to the face as he shoots for a takedown.

alves should be a clear favourite in this one. don't know why he's an underdog, but i'll take it!

hmm, I'm thinking Kos takes this, but I'm probably not going to lay -160 on it.

Alves is getting a lot of love after utterly destroying Hughes. I think Hughes hit his wall before that. Judging by performances against common opponent Lytle, I give the edge to Kos. Kos should have a slight edge IMO if he pulls the blanket out from storage. He'll get lit up standing though. I think he's smarter than that.
