Eddie Alvarez: Conor McGregor's final UFC fight could get very interesting

"The Notorious" has one fight left on his contract. Alvarez wonders if the UFC will give him a favorable matchup – even though he thinks history says otherwise.

"I think that's the idea (to fight out his contract)," Alvarez said. "But, No. 1, he's UFC's biggest bargaining chip. Do they really just go down without a fight and just give him a fight and say, 'Go. ' I've been there with Bellator. I got sued before they let me leave. Are they going to agree upon a matchup because at this point if you say you want to leave the company, you are public enemy No. 1.

"So our whole goal is to get you beat in such a way that you have no value outside this company. Are they going to agree on a matchup? The matchups they're going to give him, he's not going to want. He's not going to want them. Is the UFC going to say, 'Let's get rid of our $100 million man and let him go on his way'? It doesn't work that way in any dealings I've ever had in the last two decades. It never went that way. The minute you say you're leaving the company it's like there's always a little bit of butting heads. "
