I think he has better striking and I think Eddie Alvarez is good but he does get hit a bit, so I see Conor putting him away.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Andre Fili: &#8220;Eddie is one of the best guys in the world and has been for a while. Obviously Conor is one of the best fighters in the world as well, it&#8217;s (a) really (fight) hard to call. But we haven&#8217;t seen Conor at 155 pounds yet, but I&#8217;m guessing he will be big and strong.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Stefan Struve: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go with Eddie. He was my teammate for a while at the Blackzillians, and I think he&#8217;s gonna win.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Tamdan &#8220;Barncat&#8221; McRory: &#8220;Eddie is like the Rocky Balboa of the UFC. You saw his fight with Gilbert Melendez. I actually don&#8217;t get too excited for fights, but during that one I was like &#8220;this guy is the real-life Rocky Balboa!&#8221; I was freaking out.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Louis Smolka: &#8220;Probably Conor. He&#8217;s longer, he seems to be a more dominant fighter when he&#8217;s longer, when he has reach on a guy, they have a really, really hard time closing the distance. So I gotta go with Conor.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ovince Saint\u00a0Preux: &#8220;Eddie is a big 155 pounder. Conor&#8217;s big, but I don&#8217;t know man. I think if Eddie gets in his face, (Conor) could be in trouble. If Eddie&#8217;s gonna win the fight, his wrestling will have to be a factor.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Leon Edwards: &#8220;If Conor wins it&#8217;s gonna be early KO. If Eddie wins it will be a ground-out decision. I&#8217;ll go with Conor.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Thomas Brown: &#8220;I think Conor is definitely big enough to fight at 155 (pounds). He can give anyone problems. I&#8217;d like to see Eddie use his wrestling and mix things up. If he plays cards right he will walk away with the W. But Conor is a dangerous striker and could take Eddie out.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Who do you see winning between McGregor and Alvarez?
