The first of three UFC Fight Week cards features an intriguing title match. Lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos looks almost unbeatable but challenger Eddie Alvarez has won many fights from the underdog role.
Not many people thought Alvarez would climb the ranks of the UFC’s lightweight division after the brawls he endured in Bellator MMA. He’s shown that the UFC is just more of the same and that his championship heart will carry him to the top regardless of promotion.
RDA respects Alvarez’s skills but is in no way ready to give up his title. The champ has run through some of the best lightweights in UFC history. Benson Henderson, Anthony Pettis, Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone have all fallen to RDA, in fact he hasn’t lost a fight since April of 2014.
He looks to keep his UFC title and avenge his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov later this year.
The title fight is just one of many great fights on the UFC Fight Night 90 card. Here’s our official predictions:
