BJJ Champ: Conor McGregor Will KO Eddie Alvarez Cold

Hoping to become the first champion to hold belts in separate divisions at the same time, Conor McGregor faces Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. The November 12 pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden, New York will be a historic event. The first card in the Big Apple will see three titles on the line, but the main event has everyone buzzing the most. ‘The Silent Assassin’ looked incredible in his victory over Rafael dos Anjos. The Brazilian was on track to become one of the greats at 155 pounds, but Alvarez stopped ‘RDA’ with a brutal first round flurry this past July.

Wrestling and submissions could be a big factor in this fight. We’ve seen ‘The Notorious’ finished by grapplers in the past, and of course those power punches of Alvarez are extremely potent. In preparation for his second fight with Nate Diaz, McGregor enlisted the help of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu star Dillon Danis. The multiple world title winning BJJ ace remains working with ‘The Notorious,’ and made an interesting prediction for his upcoming UFC 205 battle.

Danis Predicts KO

Via BloodyElbow.com, BJJ star Dillon Danis predicted a harsh ending for Eddie Alvarez‘s first title defense. Contrary to popular belief, Danis says Conor McGregor will outstrike Alvarez even a close range.

“I’m here for him. We help each other. I wouldn’t say I’m just helping him because he also helps me a lot. My mind – everything. We’re a good tag-team, I think. He’s my brother from Ireland. I have my brothers back home in New York and now I have my brothers here too,”

“Conor is going to knock him out cold. As John Kavanagh would say, Conor could knock someone out in a phone booth so if Eddie tries to get close he’s going to get lit up. We’re ready for everything.”

Danis/Diaz

The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt also got himself in the conversation of Nate Diaz recently. Danis stated he wanted to face Nate Diaz in his first UFC fight, of which there’s been a fair amount of talk about. It seems training with Conor McGregor has rubbed off on Danis, who is a student of Marcelo Garcia, and of the lineage started by Mitsuyo Maeda.

What do you make of Danis’ prediction for the UFC 205 main event?
