Statistically, whoever wins the first match loses the second.

Statistically, Aoki likes breaking people's limbs or putting them in extreme pain.

Aoki via Tap or Snap.

i think alvarez will get back on track with a 1st rd KO of aoki.

Aoki a underdog??? since wwhen?

Aoki's best chance to win is either a decision or a submission. If I was Alvarez, I would be asking my corner for some "extra" vaseline if you guys know what I mean. I think Alvarez is gonna stick to his gameplan and decision Aoki. I see this fight as Alvarez playing it safe, while Aoki is gonna go for some high-flying moves and try to make it exciting. 

Aoki has been "evolving" with his striking game lately as well. I'm sure he'll use his striking defense to close the distance and shoot for takedowns or standing submissions that could get the fight to the ground. I hope Aoki has been fighting on the cage lately, or else he might find it hard to acclimate from the ring like in his match versus Melendez which was hard to watch as a huge Aoki fan. Melendez looked like crap in that fight too in the first few rounds. Also, I hope Aoki doesn't only rely on his rubber guard. 

This weekend is gonna be amazing for MMA! I can't wait! 

holy ****, when did the lines get so spaced out? Alvarez is -300 now? The ****?

This was a hard fight for me to pick. I love both fighters but I think Aoki is gonna catch Eddie with a choke in the 2nd.

I love both of these guys, gonna suck to see a loser AGAIN this time around.
