Eddie Alvarez speaks out after TKO loss to Dustin Poirier

If it was jon jones, people would be murdering the guy instead of posting "respect"

MMA fans that talk shit about Eddie Alvarez are the biggest jokes on this site.

1-1 comment aside, it was a humble and respectful message.

 

[KazDibiase]

Respect. but its 1-0

He's 0-2 actually

1-1?

fuck this clown.

Should've been disqualified the first time. Poirier is 2-0.

Looks like Eddie is taking math lessons from Till.

"1-1"

GTFO cheating bastard.
Knee's Porier on the head illegaly and gets the fight turned to a NC
Holds on to the cage to survive choke.
Pokes porier's ear.
Attempts to through a 12-6 elbow.

Waste of time to even read all that, runs around any responsibility.

" this makes us 1-1" Wow Eddie that is pretty moronic considering you cheated in both fights

i stopped reading as soon as i saw "we're 1-1"

When you get your ass beat like this:

Don't be surprised that the muthafucka don't know anything or what the hell they're talking about.

 

[Gnomecuddler]

Stopped reading at '1-1'

 

[Peter Smits]

Lmfao Eddie "Brazillian" Alavarez with too many backhanded compliments and subtle excuses to count

 

[NotoriousMillions]

Respect. but its 1-0

Nah, it's 1-1.

Read it again.. that shit is aimed for his own ego, excuses, lack of owning up to a result and lastly aimed at a new contract "are you not entertained" this shit was written by him, his wife and his manager... this wasn't raw in the cage after the beating.

 

[Martialarts123]

Stfu about the 1-1 part. The post is brutally honest. The Underground King is a legend.

I'm not going to read a text of somebody who uses a space before a comma and before a full stop.

 

[D'z]

Eddie, the underground king, a stand-up guy. Hat's off to that guy, he's a Kenzo.

 

[Snake Fist]

You can't knee me, can't you see I have one hand on the ground, one of the most laughable rules in the fight game.

I would give Eddie the first fight, but man he fucked up bad second time around, and Dustin put him away decisively.

 

[Whippy McGee]

If he could just get his mom to stop screaming during his matches.

 

[IIIIIIII]

i respect him for that statement. and yeah, he is definitely working on his, "most violent man on the planet", or whatever his claim to fame is. looking forward to his next fight.

 

[DOMMA]

I thought it was well written and I respect Eddie more now than ever as a fighter.

 

[TobikanJudan94]

LOL that 1-1 part. Eddie is delusional and brain damaged to some Weidman-level.

ealvarezfightThere are no grey areas in Fighting , one man will lose and the other will win , this is why I love this game . Controversial calls , judging , and fan support can always add to the drama but in the end 1 will stand and 1 will fall . Hats off to Dustin and his team he stayed calm under pressure and fought beautifully this makes us 1-1 . In no way will I judge Godard harshly , We have the same Job ! he has to make decisions in split seconds just like I do , and he makes them with my health and my opponents in mind . What’s done is done . As for Mark Henry calling for an elbow in the heat of the moment . An angled elbow is an incredible shot from the position I was in , it’s actually the only shot you can throw . We simply had a miscommunication, it happens in war more often than not , this was a case of “friendly fire” and we ended up on the losing end of this battle . But let’s remember Ricardo and Mark are also responsible for my UFC world title , and wins over some of the greatest fighters in the UFC , He’s the hardest worker on our team , obsessive, detailed , and pushes us all to understand the opportunity we have in front of is on a world stage . He’s my coach , friend , and Been a mentor of mine for longer than most of you know . Losing is never satisfying , I don’t lose often but when I do I grow the most as a person/fighter . Adjustments will be made , if anything this loss will add to the joy of my next Victory ! I want to thank my team , coaches , my family , and everyone who supports me in this journey . My family especially, the sacrifice falls on the back of my wife and our children . We experience great Joy in our victories and incredible Pain in our losses but our only other option is to avoid the experience and feel nothing at all . We are grateful to be able to fight every time the walk is made to the octagon , and anxiously awaiting the the opportunity to make that walk again . Thank you @ufc . I was brought here , not to win , but to entertain.... Are you not entertained ???? T.H.N.Q

very nice post, despite all the hate he gets.

Dustin’s knee was on the ground when Eddie knee’d him .

 

[Bboy]

Officially it’s 0-1-0 (1 NC).

 

[laleggenda27]

I generally like Eddie, but saying they're 1-1 is pretty delusional...and disrespectful to Poirier. You can't use the "heat of battle" excuse to explain the illegal knees in the first fight, then somehow claim you won that fight. It seems he's refusing to take responsibility for throwing multiple illegal knees, which are dangerous strikes given the context (i.e., the opponent not defending because the strike is illegal).

And even if we buy the "heat of battle" explanation for the first fight, it's fairly disconcerting that he followed up a no contest (due to his illegal tactics) by being even dirtier in the rematch. I would have thought he'd be a little paranoid about staying on the straight and narrow, given the result in the first fight, but he actually went in the opposite direction.
