"Eddie Alvarez is in front of me. He's number three." "I want to fight the best in the world. I want to fight Eddie Alvarez. Nothing would make me more happy than to challenge that guy and get beat up by him or beat him up."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/883709513441980416 While it's not technically a super fight, it's about as close as you're ging to get. No fighter has been able to defeat former WSOF champion Gaethje, while Alvarez has won a belt in pretty much every promotion he's ever fought in. Both fighters also have an unusual infatuation with violence, willing to bite down on the mouthpiece, step into the fire and swing until the lights go out. The running joke with Alvarez before he lost his UFC title was that he doesn't really come into his own until he gets rocked. And the world saw at UFC 213 how Gaethje responds when he gets hurt. No wonder why Alvarez was so willing to accept the offer. https://twitter.com/ealvarezfight/status/884554301254905862 Five rounds please, just in case.
