Eddie Alvarez was most recently seen in action at May’s UFC 211 event in Dallas where he had a nine minute war with Dustin Poirier that ended in an unfortunate no-contest due to illegal knees.

Prior to that, Alvarez was coming off a knockout loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 205 in which he surrendered his UFC lightweight title.

Meanwhile, Alvarez’s opponent Justin Gaethje peaked the interest of anyone not aware of his World Series of Fighting achievements when he defeated Michael Johnson via second-round TKO in a fight of the year candidate which served as his UFC debut.

Gaethje currently holds a perfect 18-0 professional record which includes five lightweight title defences with The World Series of Fighting promotion.

Who do you think will emerge victorious when Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez throw down December 2 in Detroit? Sound off PENN Nation!
