Thiago Alves talks about the future
Fast forwarding to the future, UFC 89 features a highly atnticpated bout between two rising stars in the welterweight division. Lyoto Machida will set foot in the Octagon on October 18th and take on Thiago Alves. Fresh off his bludegoening of Matt Hughes, Alves took time to talk about his next opponent.
The way Alves came out and dispatched of Hughes provided sufficient reason to believe that he could be one of the next dominant fighters in the division. Skeptics may point out the fact that Hughes was only a shell of his former self and didn’t appear to be throughly prpeared for the fight.
Nevertheless, Alves still defeated one of the best fighters in UFC history in a main event bout. Alves will have to bring that same tenacity when he returns to the octagon against Machida. Machida has also proven that he is one of the top fighters in the division, but only one of these fighters will continue to rise to the top after UFC 89.
