Alves on GSP: "He's the best fighter out there in my opinion"

Thiago Alves gives his thoughts on his loss to St Pierre

Alves is showing a lot of class following his loss at UFC 100. It's nice to see a young fighter bounce back mentally after losing the biggest fight of his career

Now that he is injured and most of the top WW contenders are already set to face each other, who do you all think would be a worthy opponent? I would like to see Alves vs Daley. We know it would be a standup war. Daley's ground skills are lacking and Alves rarely ever takes it to the mat. I think I read somewhere that Daley would be fighting Condit at UFC 108, but I don't think it's official.

What are your thoughts? What's next for the pitbull?

    After Anthony Johnson takes care of Koscheck. I wouldn't mind seeing Alvez vs Johnson...

      I agree, that would be a sick fight!

      I can't wait for Rumble vs Kos, I thought they should've given Rumble a contender a couple fights ago. It will be interesting to see how mentally strong he is when the competition is higher.

      Alves is quickly climbing the ladder to my top 5 favorites. Talent and respect, love it! Thanx for the post MrShickadance!
