So you don't think eddie has a chance of koing him? i think eddie has just a good of a chance of koing him as hansen does koing eddie.... Chin, sure hansens is better tested but do we know that its better at lw? Power i definitely give eddie the power advantage.


Listen my problem is just that everyone on ehre is talking as if eddie has ZERO chance of koing hansen, and its funny to me.

I think Alvarez would have a better matchup against Kawajiri. I think Hansen may be too versatile for him, and will submit him in the first.

Correct. I honestly dont think anyone has a chance of KOing Hansen at that weight.

You think Eddie could ko everyone, he does have KO power but doesn't do it often, he has mostly TKO's, which mean's it takes multiple strikes finish

He is a good fighter, an this will be a great fight. But if it does end by KO it will be by a Hansen Knee, not a Eddie punch. More then likely it will be a TKO for one of the fighters or a sub.


If he does KO hansen though i will never doubt eddie again in anything

And standup is pretty even, if anything i give eddie the hands advantage. On the ground eddie will be too strong for hansen, hansen has better bjj sure, but the size and strength advantage is too great. Hansen CAN KO eddie, if he wins thats how he will win, i don't see him subbing him or beating him in a decision, eddies cardio and pace will definitely test hansen if it goes past the first.

Strengh advantage too great??? We are talking about Joahim hansen ..you seems like a talking about a fight between Fedor and kenflo here. Eddie has better wrestling but i dont see him passing hansens guard...when he is down there he will be in trouble all the time.

If Hellboy taggs him, he is going down i can tell you that right now...hansen may not look as Anderson silva on the feet but his style is very effective and this guard on the feet is solid. If you see the recent matches with hansen you will see that his standup has evolved the last year.
If Eddie lands on his back with hellboy on top he has to work his ass to not get submitted.

Everything can happen but this is a bad matchup for Eddie...

I would hardly call it a bad matchup

I think both fighters match up well. Good striking, good power, and solid all around with Eddie having the wrestling advantage and Hansen having better JJ.

I think that Eddie is more athletic and I think that will win it for him (granted he doesnt eat a knee from hell)

Eddie might win but still...i think this fight was the worst that he could get.

Damn, RonnyB.... You sure love to nuthug Eddie Alvarez. He's a good fighter but you're really bias when discussing his abilities.

[bVlgari]

I think Eddie will either tko Hansen or win a decision.

[Big Eck]

War Alvarez!!
