With so much success early in his career, Thiago \u201cPitbull\u201d Alves (23-6-0) has always bee<\/span><\/span>n in the top five best in his division.\u00a0 <\/span>After his loss to Georges St. Pierre for the welterweight championship and his lackluster showing against John Fitch,<\/span> Alves reinvents himself through diet, The Dolce Diet to be exact, as well as a newfound love for training, Alves looks to quiet all the noise being made of young gun, Rick \u201cThe Horror\u201d Story (12-3-0) at UFC 130: Rampage vs. Hamill. \u201d I have a whole new outlook on life,\u201d explained Alves.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cMy energy levels are through the roof.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>With a style that mirrored Alves\u2019 early days of the stand and bang mentality, Alves feels as though it may be a little too early in Story\u2019s career to be facing someone like him.\u00a0 <\/span>Not satisfied with the loss to GSP, Alves knew it was time to push his work ethic too the highest it could go.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI didn\u2019t do the right strategy for GSP.\u201d said Alves.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI couldn\u2019t fight back.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Feeling at his full potential and with a new coaching staff, Alves defeated John Howard and got back in the winning column.\u00a0 <\/span>Having won his last five fights in the UFC, Rick Story looks to make a name for himself off an upset win over Thiago.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThere\u2019s a huge difference between the top five athletes and the rest of them,\u201d explained Alves.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cHe\u2019s gonna realize that whenever I touch his face.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With all the hard work done now, Alves sheds the final few pounds and mentally prepares for his Saturday night fight.\u00a0 <\/span>With a lot of doubters still talking about his two high profile losses more than his last win, Alves promises to showcase a new version of himself against Story.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m going to go for the finish,\u201d said Alves.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m gonna make him pay for calling me out.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cDon\u2019t blink or you may miss a good knockout.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>
