Eddie could use his size and strength to out wrestle him, other than that I can see Hansen taking this one on due to his well roundedness.

I'd rather see Alvaraz against Ishida or Kawajiri. Test his takedown defense.

Both his two fights have been great style match-ups for him.

This is a very good style matchup for eddie if it happens, he's going to come in to this fight way bigger than hellboy and he should be able to outwrestle him handily. Of course Joachim is dangerous from all positions so you can never count him out. My mind says Eddie either by decision or TKO via ground and pound, but my heart says Hansen by huge KO knee while eddie is shooting in.

I though Hansen and Alvarez by far looked the best in the first round of the tournament. (Though I didn't get to see much of JZ) I don't want another UFC 1: Shamrock vs. Gracie climax in the middle of the tournament with a meaningless final at the end.

Alvarez also needs to watch out for submissions. Joachim's guard is not a safe place to be.
