“The fight with me is the only one that makes sense for Khabib, since only I can create difficulties for him. There is only one guy in the entire division that gave him problems - Glayson Tibau. The Brazilian gave him a tough fight as he was not particularly good in any aspect.
"I also have no strong points. I am not a great puncher, not a great wrestler, or a jiu-jitsu master. I am athletic, I have a strong spirit, a big heart, and I will fight until I die.
"Chibau had a great fight plan and probably won that fight. He could withstand the strengths of Khabib, nullify most of his efforts. This is what I have been able to do with almost every opponent I have fought. I think this fight would be special," the 37-year-old American said in an interview with Morning Kombat.
Alvarez left the UFC in 2018 and moved to the Singapore-based ONE Championship promotion.
