Eddie Alvarez captured the UFC lightweight title this past July when he scored a first-round knockout victory over former title holder Rafael dos Anjos. The title capturing win marked Eddie’s third-straight octagon victory, as he had previously defeated top contenders Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez respectively.

Meanwhile, “Mystic Mac” is coming off a majority decision victory over Nate Diaz, which he scored in the headlining bout of UFC 202 in Las Vegas.

The brash Irish superstar has gone 8-1 in his UFC career, scoring finishes in six of those eight victories.

Conor McGregor will look to become the third two-division champion in UFC history if he squares off with Alvarez at November’s UFC 205 event, following in the footsteps of UFC legends BJ Penn and Randy Couture.

Who do you think will emerge victorious if McGregor and Alvarez throw down in New York on November 12? Sound off PENN Nation!
