I'm looking to grab the UFC and pull them back in the direction of Philadelphia.
Eddie Alvarez -
The goal never changes. It's about beating the guy in front of you.
Eddie Alvarez
-
I rarely think that when a guy loses a fight, it's a weight issue. You can either fight, or you can't.
Eddie Alvarez -
Typically, I would say that I'm not defined by one loss and I'm not defined by one win. But I'd be lying if I told you I didn't harp on the loss at Madison Square Garden.
Eddie Alvarez -
From wrestling, I learned that I was capable of much more than I thought I was.
Eddie Alvarez -
You don't want to be in a fight of the year. It takes years off your life. But, it's why fans tune in; it's why people gravitate toward your fights. It's why people want to watch you fight. It's important to get into them, but it's important to try not to get into too many of them.
Eddie Alvarez -
I think when it comes to re-signing with an organisation, there's no real compromise if you're trying to move on.
Eddie Alvarez -
If you're not successful at a certain weight, it rarely has anything to do with gaining or losing 10 pounds. It's something inside of you that you need to fix in order to win. It rarely has anything to do with cutting 10 pounds.
Eddie Alvarez
-
I know what I can do at 155.
Eddie Alvarez -
I was never the most technical; I was never the best at one aspect at this sport, but what I was always good as was negating people's strengths and putting them in terrible situations where they're uncomfortable.
Eddie Alvarez -
I enjoy fights the most once them nerves go away and you settle into the fight. That's when you can have your fun and be creative and just kind of be yourself.
Eddie Alvarez -
The right thing to do is just ask what you can give, and then let things manifest in the time they're supposed to.
Eddie Alvarez -
I believe that in order for me to consider myself one of the top ranked lightweights in the world, I have to go out and dominate the fight.
Eddie Alvarez -
Although I'm shorter, all of my weight I carry in my back and my butt. That's where most of my weight is.
Eddie Alvarez
-
It's MMA - anything can happen. You can throw a punch from one knee, a punch from anywhere.
Eddie Alvarez -
I will do whatever the UFC tells me to do, but there's not a doubt in my mind that I can be champion.
Eddie Alvarez -
I think it's important to say that I am genuinely thankful for the time at Bellator.
Eddie Alvarez -
Going in there just to win and put on a boring fight, I don't want to be related to anything like that.
Eddie Alvarez -
It's a fist fight - the idea is to go out there and impose my will.
Eddie Alvarez -
I'm proud of both sides, and they are both really well known to be fighting heritages, so I tell everyone all the time - they say, 'What are you'? - I say I'm Irish. I'm Puerto Rican. I guess I was born to fight.
Eddie Alvarez
-
I would love, love, love to watch Conor McGregor fight Floyd Mayweather.
Eddie Alvarez -
I like to be with my back against the wall in dangerous situations.
Eddie Alvarez -
I will fight whoever the UFC wants me to fight.
Eddie Alvarez -
We got four-ounce gloves here. It's not hard to knock someone out.
