    If Alves wins they should give him a title shot at 185, or 205

    He cut 40 to make weight. Really stupid what he's at, especially considering he'd be a contender at middleweight without all his ridiculous weight behaviour.

    He needs to drop some of his muscle mass to make it in WW. Better to be a solid WW than a shell of yourself once you get to the fight.

    Some really nice takedowns there, Alves missed about 3/4 chances to sweep him before he took that one..

    This is ridiculous. Thiago should keep the weight lower next time. I think he walked around at 210 before the fight.
