I chose alves because I think he would be able to close the distance and get a close decision W but if he gives Hardy too space room to breathe it could be trouble. It would be an incredibly exciting fight.
Alves is a much better verison of Hardy. He has better hands, better kicks, better wrestling and BJJ. Add in the fact he probably has more power and Hardy is in for one long long night courtesy of the Pitbull.
