Why the hell is Eddie’s nickname “The Underground King”?

[Destino2018]

It doesn’t even make sense like wtf type of king gets embarrassed by a shit talking leprechaun. Could someone enlighten me on this or is this just a case of someone naming themselves and it turns out to not fit in the slightest?

Because for a majority of his career he fought in other mma leagues before he ever got in the UFC. But he was very dominant in basically every company he fought in.

 

[Championstuff]

He was considered by many to be the best lightweight fighter in the world that wasn’t fighting in the ufc at the time

 

[Nihongi]

Typical white belt bullshit.

You really have no clue who Eddie Alvarez is do you?

 

[mb23100]

He's so short he's practically under the ground

It's sad you look at Eddie as a joke or something. You don't really know much about him though no problem. Very well rounded fighter he's good everywhere. That shit talking leprechaun shut him down everywhere in that fight when everyone was saying McGregor is a one trick pony. But McGregor defeated him mentally before the fight even started.

He was put underground by Conor but he still thinks he is a king. At least he admits he is underground.

TS sounds like a worthless white belt

TS try watching more mma and less creepy Japanese cartoons.

We can just say he has some training to do to get that sherdog belt.

 

[YouKnowWhat?]

This is the real king

This is the underground king

See the difference?

[Craig Hogg]

He was embarrassed in the McGregor fight but that fight aside he is a legend.
Been in some of the best wars in MMA history.

You're a casual

I’m a big Eddie Alvarez fan, I loved seeing him fight in bellator and now the ufc. Only thing I don’t like about his fights is when his wife is there because she screams the entire time.

I dont know but Jon Anik loves that name

Next time Alvarez fights, take a shot every time Anik says “the underground king”

You will died
