Canelo Alvarez proved to the boxing world that he is still one of the best in the sport after his swift victory over Gennady Golovkin. Alvarez now has two wins over ‘GGG’ and is the only man who has defeated the Kazakh boxer. This was a special moment for Alvarez, as many doubted his victory over Golovkin in their second fight.

Alvarez has seemingly put those doubts to rest after scoring a comfortable unanimous victory. The Mexican boxer has now completed a trifecta of fights with Golovkin and will now enjoy his victory. However, there was another person who completed his own trifecta during the fight. This person is none other than UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who was present ringside for this match along with comedian Dave Chappelle.

The ADCC World championship hosts over one hundred elite athletes competing for a chance to win submission grappling’s most prestigious title. The tournament will be conducted across five divisions with 16 competitors each for men, two divisions with eight competitors each for women, along with the open-weight tournaments. This will then be followed by a super fight between IBJJF world champ and six-time ADCC champ Andre Galvao and three-time ADCC champ Gordan Ryan.

The UFC also had a card on the same day headlined by bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Song Yadong. It seems that Rogan got to see the best talents compete across all major combat sports.

What’s next for Canelo Alvarez?

Now that ‘Saul’ has returned to his winning ways, the question about his future arises. The most likely option for Alvarez would be to challenge Dmitry Bivol for a rematch and get his revenge. However, Bivol is set to face Gilberto Ramirez this November so this fight cannot be made sooner than next year.

Alvarez does have a lot of options he could consider. The most exciting of them would be to face two-time WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez who has been looking to fight Alvarez for a long time. Moreover, he could also challenge the WBO welterweight champion, Terence Crawford, although that seems highly unlikely.
