Alves is more of a wild man. Better knockout power. Flores stays on the outside. More technical. The striking will be close. But Flores is way more well rounded and he should be able to take Alves down if he wants to.
Chris’ Pick: Flores by decision.

Striker vs wrestler. I watched Bowen take on a 2-8 wrestler. The fight only last 3 minutes, but the 2-8 wrestler was winning most of the fight. Took Bowen down a couple times and controlled him. Bowen eventually got back up and knocked his opponent out, but my main point is the Huckbody has much better wrestling and will be able to do the same thing. Take Bowen down.
Chris’ Pick: Huckbody by 2nd round submission.
