Eddie Alvarez warns that Conor McGregor's aging body is outpacing his mental drive, predicting that the 38-year-old's final contractual fight will be shaped less by sporting merit and more by the UFC's desire to protect its financial interests against a departing star.
According to GN sports/mma (en-US), Alvarez draws a parallel to his own experiences with Bellator, suggesting the UFC will likely leverage McGregor's status as their most valuable asset to force an unfavorable matchup rather than allowing him a clean exit.
