Eddie Alvarez does not truly respect Conor McGregor. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight king has already made it known that he's questioning McGregor's fighting spirit heading into UFC 205 on Nov. 12 from New York City, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Alvarez had more to say about the Irishman after McGregor posted the following on Instagram:
In response to McGregor's new found cardio training, Alvarez took it upon himself to challenge "Notorious" via Twitter, recently comparing the Irishman's bicycle efforts to the "Tour de France."
improving Cardio Wtf !! haha Are we doing the Tour de France or We fist fighting ? #itsallOver #guysridingbikes No "History just "My"story

Shots fired! Alvarez is well known as one of the most durable athletes in mixed martial arts (MMA) today, so it's interesting to see what he thinks about McGregor trying to increase his reserve tank, which has been called into question in the past. Despite the new regiment, McGregor's best chances to win at UFC 205 still reside in the first two rounds.
