UFC 205: Five keys to victory for Eddie Alvarez against Conor McGregor

At the historic UFC 205 card in Madison Square Garden in New York City, lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is looking to avoid winding up on the wrong side of history. His opponent, featherweight champion Conor McGregor, is seeking to become the first two-weight champion in the promotion's history.

Unfortunately for McGregor, he is facing a tough opponent who is well-rounded with solid boxing and better wrestling. Alvarez has cardio that enables him to go the distance and he is vastly more experienced and has been through some tough tests.

Alvarez has said there is an easy way to beat McGregor that no one has used yet, but he won't reveal it before the bout.
