UFC 268 begins its main card with a barn burner of a fight between Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler. Both men share an opponent in common that they both had exciting fights with, Eddie Alvarez.

Eddie Alvarez actually holds a win over both men. He fought Chandler back in Bellator and Gaethje in the UFC.

Eddie Alvarez replied to UFC welterweight Sean Brady on Twitter about who he had winning the bout at UFC 268. He went with the fighter he fought more recently.

“True pick em. Gun to my head I’m leaning Justin because of the leg kicks and the fact Mike doesn’t have a great deal of D, Mike’s easiest path is the ground, He could dominate JG there. But it will stay standing and I’d say the second most violent man gets it done JG KO.”

UFC 268 has the bout booked as a Bellator champion vs WSOF champion. This was what people wanted to see with Eddie Alvarez and Will Brooks a few years ago.

Eddie Alvarez knocked out Justin Gaethje at UFC 218 back in 2017. The fight was extremely exciting and had many people calling it the fight of the year.

UFC 268 has a lot of excitement around it as many believe we could see another fight of the year between Gaethje and Chandler. Both men have an exciting style that promises a lot of action with very little defense.

The fight will open up the pay-per-view portion of UFC 268, much to the surprise of many due to the magnitude of the fight.
