On November 12, in the main event of the universally anticipated UFC 205<\/a>, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will challenge Eddie Alvarez<\/a> for the UFC lightweight title. If McGregor is successful in this attempt, he’ll become the first fighter in UFC history to wear two belts\u00a0simultaneously.<\/p>\n

In advance of this high-stakes showdown, the advantages possessed by both men are quite clear. McGregor should have a significant edge in the striking department, while Alvarez should be the better man in the grappling and cardio departments.<\/p>\n

Clearly aware of his opponent’s strengths, McGregor has been training accordingly, continuing his efforts to sharpen his grappling skill, and working hard to rectify the cardio deficit that seemed to plague him in his two 2016 bouts with Nate Diaz.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Irish star recently posted a photo to Instagram, which shows him working hard on a stationary bike in a clear effort to deepen his energy reserves.<\/p>\n
