We are just 24 hours removed from the biggest fight card in mixed martial arts (MMA) history. That means we're only 24 hours away from a gigantic Octagon meeting between current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight king Eddie Alvarez and current featherweight champion Conor McGregor, as the two will headline UFC 205 tomorrow night (Sat., Nov. 12, 2016) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

The bout with be interesting to say the least. McGregor will attempt to become the first fighter in promotional history to simultaneously hold two divisional titles by utilizing an elite standup game, while Alvarez will look to lock down his first 155-pound title defense with persistent wrestling, top control and ground-and-pound. Even though Alvarez has been known to mix it up on the feet, especially in his knockout defeat of Rafael dos Anjos earlier this year, UFC president Dana White doesn't believe "The Underground King" will stray from his gameplan at UFC 205.

"I think Eddie Alvarez is going to come out and fight the way he did in the Anthony Pettis fight," said White during a appearance on Jim Rome's SiriusXM show earlier this week. "I think he's gonna try to get Conor up against the fence and take him down, or just push him against the fence and try to work on the fence. I don't think he's gonna come out in the middle of the Octagon and trade with Conor and start throwing punches."

Remember, Alvarez dismantled Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez by stacking them up against the cage, taking away their advantage on the feet, sapping their energy and dragging them to deep water. While that sort of gameplan is tailor made for a quick finisher like McGregor, it doesn't mean Alvarez will have complete success against the Irish knockout artist.

"You better fear his hands," added White regarding McGregor's punching power. "He touches guys. He dropped Nate Diaz at a higher weight class. All the other guys he's knocked out. He knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds. If he touches you, you're in trouble, you get hurt."

Only time will tell if McGregor's hands will be good enough to thwart the pressure and strong wrestling of Alvarez.
