Eddie Alvarez lays down blueprint on how to beat UFC star Conor McGregor: ‘Wrestle him and slow him down’

Former UFC lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez, believes Michael Chandler will need to fight smart and play to his strengths in order to have his hand raised against Conor McGregor.

Chandler is slated to square off with the Irishman later this year once the pair wrap up their upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. Premiering on May 30, the latest season of the UFC’s long-running reality series will pit the two lightweight leather-slingers against one another months before they step inside the Octagon.

Since making his promotional debut in 2021, Michael Chandler has established himself as one of the more exciting fighters in the UFC.
