Joel Alvarez has a finish in every single one of his wins thus far in professional MMA, giving him that all exciting, 100% win finishing rate.
Alvarez’s best weapon is undoubtedly his jiujitsu, and thanks to his huge frame at 6’3″ and 77″ reach, he often can lock up submissions that would be impossible for fighters of shorter stature.
Joel has 14 wins by way of a choke submission, and 7 wins by triangle choke, showing that he is very capable of finishing the fight while on his back. Alvarez’s long legs come in handy for his most used triangle choke and his long arms come in handy for his second most used submission, the guillotine choke.
Joel has seen the third round just two times in all of his pro fights, so he likes to get the job done early. Alvarez always seems to have some way of dragging his opponents to the ground even if they are the ones who initially shoot for the takedown on him.
Despite missing weight for his upcoming bout, Joel Alvarez is looking to continue on his win streak and finish streak since joining the UFC.
