Dana on Eddie Alvarez Signing with the UFC, "It's Gonna Get Ugly"

[Brotha Will]

i think dana wants to acquire eddie so when eddie gets dominated he can prove that the ufc has always had the best fighters in the world and that other orgs are a joke compared to the ufc.

Iirc Eddie had a time handling a guy on Bullybeatdown. he's in for trouble no matter where he ends up

Iirc

you definitely don't remember that correctly because he beat the shit out that guy lol

That's it, a Sherdog exclusive. I lurked for a yr or so, so I wouldn't start/say the typical white belt things ;-)

I stand corrected....there was a fighter who got lit up pretty good, from the looks of it, it wasn't Eddie. Thanks for saving a white belts butt man. Although I think he was on there more than once?

I think it might've been Jake Shields

maybe but i think Thomas Denny and Tony Bonello were worse lol

 

[k1ngjester]

didn't he get dominated by chandler? (serious question btw)

That was actually a back and forth fight. I had Eddie winning 2 of the rounds before he got finished. He just needs to figure a way to stop getting rocked so much.

No...that was arguably "Fight of the Year".

 

[No1BumFighter]

I like Eddie but he seems to have some serious problems with his punching defence and I can see him getting starched by a few people in the UFC

Agreed. Guillard, Cerrone, Penn, Miller & Maynard could all easily slip one through and put him out. I like Alvarez and think he's a great addition to the LW div but I don't see him making many big waves.

Tony Bonello got dropped actually and Thomas Denny is... Thomas Denny haha that says it all

 

[TASTEofmySCYTHE]

I wonder if that's in terms of with Bellator or Eddie's agent.

 

[jareduf]

It was Denny.

Shields submitted the bully 5 times but couldn't knock him out. However, the stand up wasn't close. Shields beat him up.

 

[the best evah]

I wonder if that's in terms of with Bellator or Eddie's agent.

It's got to be bellator because right now eddie has no say in where he's going if bellator matches the UFCs offer then it doesn't matter if Eddie wants to go to the UFC or not legally he has to go back to bellator.

 

[swirldog]

No one thought Benson would do as well as he has. I think Eddie finds some success. May not go on a Bendo like tear, but should be able to hold his own.

 

[akproplayer]

The UFC should purchase Bellator.

Muahahaha, that would be awesome.
