Eddie Alvarez On Conor McGregor: He’s Just A Left Hand
It’s no secret that Conor McGregor’s deadliest weapon is his powerful left hand, and he’ll likely try to use it at Nov. 12’s UFC 205 when he attempts to become the first man in UFC history to hold two titles at one time against 155-pound champion Eddie Alvarez in the evening’s headliner.
Alvarez, however, feels as if the Irishman is only ‘a left hand’ and that there’s not much else to him. In fact, the ex-Bellator champion feels as if he’s going to ‘dominate’ McGregor:
“To me, he’s just a left hand,” Alvarez said on the MMA Roasted podcast. “He’s just a guy with a left hand. That’s how I see him. He does something that we call a ‘rock back’ well. Mayweather does it. A lot of Philly fighters do it. [McGregor] lives and breathes off it. A lot of MMA guys don’t know about these boxing things that they do. This is a move that’s very easily taken away and we’re going to dominate every step of the way.”
While he wouldn’t reveal specifics, “The Silent Assassin” said that he and his team have come up with a game plan that will lead him to victory at the famed Madison Square Garden:
“Without giving away a gameplan or anything, everything’s taken away with the proper preparation. I’m confident in my coaches, I’m confident in our gameplan and our ability to go out there and do it. We’re just following this gameplan step-by-step.”
