#3 Eddie Alvarez
The Underground King was supposed to be the one to beat Conor McGregor. He was supposed to be the one that would inflict that “nightmare” fight on the Irishman and keep him from becoming the first simultaneous two-weight division champion that the UFC would ever see.
But things didn’t play out that way. In fact, they played out the exact opposite of how Alvarez fans would have wanted them to.
At UFC 205, the then UFC Lightweight champion made a point after winning the title against Rafael Dos Anjos that he wanted an “easy” fight and that meant big money McGregor.
However, instead of dismantling the Irishman, the Irishman completely dismantled him instead and snatched his title in two horrible rounds, spoiling his first title defence. An unfortunate and short run for the former Bellator and UFC champion.
