Eddie Alvarez har äntligen tagit sig över till UFC, och som sin första motståndare kommer han att ta sig an Donald ”Cowboy” Cerrone. I en intervju via ”MMAFighting” så pratar Alvarez om den kommande matchen och hur han ser på framtiden, här kan ni läsa vad Eddie hade att säga:
Cowboy has been putting on great fights for a long time. It’s no mystery, the guy is an exciting fighter. He does really well, and I do the same. Look, the only fights I want to be involved with at this time in my career, at this time in my life, are big fights. Dangerous guys, big events, where fans are biting their fingernails and they’re asking themselves, ‘oh my god, we have no clue what’s going to go on.’ Those are the sort of fights that I want to be involved in.
I don’t want to wait around. I’m here for the title. I want to make that clear right from the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, the UFC is the premier company, the best company in the world. But I’m not here just to be a measuring stick. I’m here for the world title. That’s why I signed and that’s what I’m here for. It’s nothing personal, but I’m going to get after these guys hard, man. I’m going to be a dangerous guy to fight.
Now I’m in a situation where I can get my hands on whoever I want, and I have an opportunity to get my hands on the number-one guys in the world. And I’m going to take full advantage of that opportunity. I’m going to show people what I’m capable of. If anybody has any questions or doubts, or doesn’t believe in my ability or what I’m capable of, the answers to those questions are going to be found out very soon.
Alvarez kommer att ta sig an Donald den 27 september, då de möts vid UFC 178 vid ”MGM Grand Garden Arena” i Las Vegas.
