Thiago Alves vs Marcus Davis

[markzabin]

This would be a really good fight and would hopefully solve the whos after Fitch title question. I would say Davis gets the first round for sure (Alves always sucks in the first) or Alves by decision. It would be up to Davis if he can get the finish or not.

Alves has already beat Davis.

Although this was a few years ago and Davis has came along, if im not mistaken that fight was all stand up.

And imo Alves has really improved, more then Davis. I believe Alves finishes Davis this time.

And what do you mean, who's after Fitch. If Alves beats Hughes, their is no doubt who the number 1 contender is. Alves would have beaten 2 top 10 fighters back to back.

And Davis if he beats Swick, still hasn't fought any top 10 fighters.

Davis has a very good streak going and if he beats Swick i think he will prove a lot but still has more to prove in terms of a title shot.

i would love to see this fight happen. neither of them has faced high calibur competition yet. (except for alves koing parysian) but i see them as equal fighters, this fight would solidify who goes on to face hughes. because honestly, i see davis beating alves. alves is a great fighter but his strong suit is striking, so is davis. i think davis has a better striking and a better ground game, therefore i think davis should be fighting hughes at 85. but dont get me wrong alves would be the second guy to face hughes. maybe davis could fight serra?(after swick)

Alves is better at striking, wrestling, and grappling

[Ubermensch]

Alves is a better all around fighter

Alves - And I'm not all that sure Davis will even make it past Swick.
