Bellators föredetta lättviktsmästare Eddie Alvarez är inte högt rankad i UFC, då han kliver in på 14:e plats i rankingen. Här kan ni läsa vad organisationens VD Dana White har för förklaring på varför inte Alvarez inte är rankad högre i UFC, och detta hade Dana att säga via ”The Download”:
Holy shit. I didn’t know that Alvarez came in at No. 14. I think it seems a little low, but you know what? It’s been a bad run for Eddie Alvarez. In my opinion, he’s lost a couple of the best years of his career because of what was done to him over there. We’re weeks away from finding out where he sits.
I love Cowboy Cerrone. He’s one of my favorite fighters. Eddie Alvarez has been waiting for this opportunity for years now, and he’s finally here. I think it’s going to be a very good fight. I would make Eddie the underdog because he’s had a tough run and he’s going in against Cerrone who is on an absolute roll right now. Cerrone seems mentally, emotionally and physical all there — it’s going to be a great fight. It’s going to answer a lot of questions.
Eddie kommer att göra sin UFC-debut den 27 september, då han tar sig an Donald ”Cowboy” Cerrone vid UFC 178 i Las Vegas.
