UFC 117 Picks Analysis: Fitch is a nasty and relentless wrestler but Alves has more wrinkles to his game. Alves will have advantages in size, power, speed, striking, defense and overall athleticism. Alves could also be the more cerebral fighter with his ability to keep distance and mix up his attack. Fitch also does not do a very good job at pacing himself and usually runs out of gas late in bouts. The Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch UFC Odds have Alves as a -110 underdog.

Fitch might be able to execute some takedowns but he won’t be able to polish off the heavily muscled Brazilian who‘s takedown defense is much improved. Alves should be able to bash the hittable Fitch with his dangerous Muay-Thai strikes and gain revenge via KO.
