It seems at though Eddie Alvarez’s team have the same train of thought as former UFC Champion’s Jose Aldo’s camp, bringing in Jonas Bilharinho to “duplicate” Conor McGregor’s fighting style.
Alvarez will put his UFC Lightweight strap on the line against McGregor at the historic #UFC205 event and as you can see from the picture below, has been training with Bilharinho who was famously a member of team Aldo in the run up to #UFC194.

But Alvarez he will be hoping that Bilharinho doesn’t bring the same level of luck that Jose Aldo had when he faced McGregor, suffering a 12 second knockout at the hands of the Irishman.
