With UFC 205 on the horizon, tensions are rising between both Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez as the eyes of the world will be on New York on Saturday night.
We're keeping up with the UFC Embedded series that is being released daily, and we're looking forward to the press conference and weigh-ins this week that will no doubt offer up some memorable moments, but when it comes to the fight itself, it's a tough one to call.
The opinions of experts and fighters alike are divided, will Conor catch him early and end it? Will Eddie get him up against the cage and grind his opponent down? Will neither of those things happen? We just don't know for certain, but an excellent idea of what both fighters will be looking to showcase at UFC 205 can be seen from the latest episode of 'Inside The Octagon'.
Dan Hardy's breakdowns are some of the very best in the business and are eagerly anticipated ahead of big fights, and his views on McGregor vs Alvarez did not disappoint.
If you don't have time to drink in the entire 24 minute video, we recommend jumping to 4:25 for Hardy's theory as to why McGregor so regularly backs his opponent up to the cage and punches across him.
You can catch this during BT Sport's coverage in the lead-up to Saturday, but it's pretty awesome that the UFC put this stuff out on YouTube for us all to consume.
Great stuff again from Hardy, be sure to keep an eye out for those patterns during the fight.
