Alvarez and Aoki was a fight in the making for a while. I’m looking foward to seeing how well rounded Alvarez really is. If he can go to the ground with Aoki and hold his ground.

onri if alverez can avoid being submitted by aoki than i don’t think many people in the world will be able to submit him, we know he’s got striking now will see how good his ground game is.
