He's got better TDD than TDs, which is why so many people rate his wrestling. He also is strong in the clinch (Pettis fight). Let's be honest though, it's not like you need to be an elite, D1 wrestler to take Conor down at LW. Eddie can win this if he doesn't eat a left while tying Conor up and getting the TD.i think mendes was a much better mma wrestling. eddies wrestling seems overrated if you ask me.
i think will alvarez be a step behind conor during the fight and it will cost him. a counter puncher like conor is a terrible mathcup for a guy who throws roundhouses like eddie does and leaves himself open for said counters.
Haters gonna hate, but Conor has handidly out-struck every single fighter he's fought in the UFC, and most of them are great or elite strikers. Eddie's looping punches are made for Conor's counter straights.
Hard fight to pick and depends how Eddie comes out.
