Eddie Alvarez besegrade senast Anthony Pettis via ett delat domslut under ”UFC: Fight Night 81”, ett möte som inte bjöd på allt för mycket spänning. Nu meddelar dock Alvarez att kommande titelmatchen mot Rafael dos Anjos har potential att bli bra mycket mer underhållande, och detta hade han att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:
I’m learning over 13 years of fighting that everyone wants Tank Abbott. I’m not Tank Abbott. I’m not going to be Tank Abbott. I can’t do that every single fight. I want to be tactical, but I want to win.
It also takes the right dance partner, and it takes the right opponent to get in front of me. I like this guy, Rafael dos Anjos. He fights violent. He fights at a high pace. This is the guy that’s going to bring that out of me. Anthony Pettis wasn’t the guy to bring that out of me. He was simple to hold down, and I did what I wanted against him. This guy will help bring that dog out of me and bring that fight.
Eddie kommer att möta Rafael under ”UFC: Fight Night 90”, som går av stapeln den 7 juli i Las Vegas.
