Suck it, Alvarez doubters!!!

[leto1776]

first Rd. TKO!!! Undisputed champ. Pennsylvania gets it's first UFC champ.

Congrats, Eddie. We who followed you from the beginning knew you could do it.

Woooooooo!!!!

 

[JohnSAFTAHess]

I just made $46!

Eddie went off.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Been predicting this since the Pettis fight

 

[Nelly]

Cowboy should be coming back to LW to get that belt.

 

[TeamSpaceMonkey]

Dude always steps his game up.

 

[rplende]

Khabib to take the belt from Alvarez fairly quickly.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

Alvarezs chin looked better than ever. Congrats to him.

Wow, year of the upset indeed. Goes to show you can never count out a challenger. Prior to this, Alvarez's last 3 wins were split decisions - two of which were very, very lackluster. Then he RD1 TKO's the arguably greatest LW the UFC has seen (destroying Bendo, Pettis, and Cerrone, each of whom could be one of the top on any given day).

Hot potato! Khabib wins next.

 

[OliverAtom]

Wow! This is the Eddie Alvarez of the old days. Dang!

 

[IntheZone]

Holy Crap I am just so happy right now, became a fan of Alvarez after the Dream LW tourny, what a journey.

I was going for RDA, thinking this was gonna be one of his easier fights. Love to see that the old Eddie showed up today. That belt looks fitting on him. Gets a belt in every org he signs with. BEAST!

"You never knocked me down, Eddie. You never knocked me down."

Lol. Anyway, awesome job for Eddie. Dude took out top 5 p4p guy. Classy guy and a good family man. He'll wear that belt and rep it well...for a short while at least.

In numerous threads I said eddie was a live dog. Dude's tough and a scrapper. Didn't see it playing out like that but props to eddie

 

[Toco]

I wasn't disliking him, but holy shit his melendez and pettis fights weren't the most exciting to watch

 

[kevinramsdell]

great win!!! praying they bring ufc back to philly its been way to long. off topic but why is tate/nunes pushed to main event? wack lol . im really not that interested in the fight. would rather see cormier/silva 3 rounds be there

 

[BloodBonesNButter]

RDA landed flush knees and a head kick, that was a lot of dangeous offense between the two lol

 

[Shocktagon]

I picked RDA but I'm very happy for Eddie. He did what it took to get to the title shot then made the most of it come fight time.

 

[Mr.Ranticular]

"DON'T BRING OUT DA DAWG IN ME!!!"

I'll admit, I doubted him. Awesome display. happy to be wrong. Well done Eddie!
