Why is Alves wasting his time with these fights?

Losing two in a row to Fitch and GSP knocked him back down the ladder, Thiago's gotta work himself back up.

This is a great fight.

Losing to the top 2 guys though shouldn't make you go back to the start. He should be fighting other top 10 guys. Either Koscheck, Hathaway, Thiago or Sanchez would've been much better.

Remember Thiago moved to dog house after coming in over the weight limit a couple times.

I have no problem with Thiago facing the Howards and Story's of the world, he's regaining his confidence and improving his game.

He's not really improving his game. His weakness is wrestling so he should face wrestlers to improve.

His mauy thai looked improved against Howard.

Have patience Alves will be back locking horns with the elite in no time
