Gil has to win. El Nino can't have a 3rd loss in a row.

Yep. Alvarez is good but he's got tossed into some big fights to start his UFC career. Big step up in competition no matter how many fights he's had previously.

He dominated Henderson, but didn't do quite enough to win the title. The last fight was just one of those fights. He has to win this one. Results are all that matter.
