Reudiger - Alvarez will destory him. Aoki is the most overrated LW today and is barely top ten.
Ask Alvarez how that heel hook felt from last time... <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
You mean the fight 3 years ago? Yeah, Alvarez has improved monumentally and plus this fights in the cage.
Aoki has decent takedowns based from the clinch and has shitty striking. Alvarez will either knock him out or box the shit out of him.
eddie has padded his record since then while aoki has stepped up and fought better competition than alvarez. it's easy to look like a world beater when you sign with an organization that has no top 10 LW's, eddie will get exposed again.

Aoki is, perhaps, the king of padded records of the lightweight division.
How many top ten fighters has he beaten? Kawajiri? LOL, Hansen? LOL.
Until he beats a top ten lightweight and stops fighting absolute cans like MCcULLOIGH and Clementi, Aoki will be nothing more than an overrated lightweight with nothing to offer other than submissions.
Aoki has not beaten a top ten fighter, those who say otherwise are completely delusional.

You are kidding right? First off, Alvarez is considered top 10. On top of that he moved up in weight and lost to a great fighter in Mach Sakurai. He also fought and lost to possibly the number 1 lightweight in the world Gilbert Melendez. If that equals a padded record to you, you are probably chewing on plaster while watching matches.
Also, just cause you "LOL" like a douchebag and don't explain why, it doesn't discredit Hansen or Kawajiri. Those 2 are still 2 of Eddie's top 3 wins. By discrediting them, you are discrediting Alvarez. However considering the dominant performance over Josh Thomson, it is really fucking hard to discredit Kawajiri. You should add Lyle Beerbohm to that list to "LOL" about. He'd give most top fighters trouble, but he looked like a child against Aoki.

Holy shit! One of the worse posts I've ever read. Well done.

bellator needs to go ahead and make this fight happen anyway. at least then it wouldnt be one of those silly no-belt-on-the-line superfights.
i think it is still a superfight- would be a great comeback win for the posterboy of the organization. if he loses it only brings more heat into the tournament.
I don't see why Aoki would even bother now. Alvarez isn't a champion now and he already finished him. I wouldn't mind seeing the fight, but I don't see Aoki having much to gain from it. Maybe Bellator could make it worth it for him, but I'm not sure they are gonna be willing to do that for a bout with the former champion.

good point.
i think aoki could be incentivized one way or another. if a paycheck like a salisbury steak isnt enough he might just do it for the chance to beat someone overseas and restore a little luster to the jmma world.
sigh i'll admit that's just wishful thinking on my part...
