Alvarez is preparing to face McGregor in the main fight of UFC 205, on November 12, in New York. This will be the first time that the American will put his belt on the line, which he won in July this year, when he knocked out the Brazilian Rafael dos Anjos. Edson, in turn, still doesn't have a fight scheduled. In a good phase, the Rio de Janeiro native comes from two consecutive victories: Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez, both by points.
