Video: Eddie Alvarez wants winner of Diaz vs McGregor "Freakshow"

[Fincher7]

While speaking with Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of “The MMA Hour,” Alvarez had some words for UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz who will be cashing in on another big payday when they fight at UFC 202 in August.

Alvarez stated that he is looking at the winner of that fight and would be there for their fight saying, “I’ll be there with a bullhorn for that freakshow.”

Alvarez went on to pour some disrespect towards both Diaz and McGregor. “The least best lightweights in the division, highest paid. Bullshit. It is. It’s true, it’s bullshit.”

“The guys are making dollars, the highest dollars and they’re both considered lightweights I guess making the highest dollars of all of us and you got guys like Rafael dos Anjos, Donald Cerrone, myself, like real top level guys who are kind of just getting by, you know what I mean? These two guys need to be taken out viciously so we can get some of that money.”

He's not wrong.

Ferguson deserves the next shot provided he wins tomorrow night though.

Khabib needs to get a top 10 victory first after going on two and a half years without one.

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

Everybody still wants a shot at McGregor.

Aldo
Edgar
Holloway
dos Anjos
Alvarez

The only way to settle this looks like a six-man Elimination Chamber match:

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

Uhh it would look like Alvarez vs Pettis if Conor wins. The UFC will cherry pick an opponent that can beat Alvarez but would have trouble with Conor while hes defending the FW belt (tough)

I'm all for Nate getting a title shot though win or lose

 

[12ga.]

Hahaaaaa I love it!. You go Alverez get that chedder. RDA was real quiet after his wife ran over his foot so he didnt have to fight Conor. Alverez wont make same mistake.

You're crazy lad, Ferguson #DUCKED the Khabib.


Its not Khabibs fault Elt Cucuy took the night off when they were scheduled to fight.


Let the Khabib eat.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Lol at "least best lightweights" then goes on to say cerrone as one of the best

Who lost to Nate handily

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Wouldn't mind seeing Nate vs Eddie.

Could be a pretty fun scrap.

How cray would it be if Nate beat him and became champ...

 

[Bilbo Gaggins]

He wouldnt take the Diaz fight unless he has too. ITT

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Hahaaaaa I love it!. You go Alverez get that chedder. RDA was real quiet after his wife ran over his foot so he didnt have to fight Conor. Alverez wont make same mistake.

Lol the same Conor who QUIT against a 10 day notice middle of the pack replacement???


If anything she probably tried running RDA over for missing such an EASY payday.

 

[StiG85]

can't blame him for making as much $$$ as possible.
Calling it a freakshow on the other hand, is just stupid. Both are top 5 fighters who, for whatever reason, will compete at WW.
If Tony wins tomorrow, then there's that.

Alvarez vs Ferguson
RDA vs Khabib for nr1 spot
Nate Diaz: Wildcard (if win over McGregor)
McGregor: defend his fucking title at FW

You're crazy lad, Ferguson #DUCKED the Khabib.

Let the Khabib eat.

Khabib pulled out of the fight TWICE against Tony. Khabib then refused a title shot at UFC 200 because he had to be muslim for the summer.

Khabib can fight RDA or something, Cheisa, Porier. Just fight someone at the top.

Really. By that reasoning, how many times did Khabib duck Cerrone? Was it four or five?

 

[LiquidSnake]

I can see Nate beating him in a 5 rounder too

Unless Alvarez plans on holding him against the fence doing nothing like he did vs Pettis

 

[Haj01]

He wants that money

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Eddie is suffering for that Bisping syndrome: Becomes champ and want easy fights.

Him vs Nate would be great.. but he would ragdoll Conor.

 

[El Fernas]

Its Khabib or Ferguson (with a win) for Alvarez Next, as it has been said that Aldo will get Conor next, so Eddie might get Nate, which i think it was somehow in words after Eddie fought Giblert, i wouldnt mind Nate vs Eddie IF Nate beats Conor, that doesnt mean beating Conor would give him the shot, but it would be a huge boost in momentum for him, with the two main contenders fighting late replacement newcomers respectively.

 

[Me&MrJones]

Since Bisping can get the 13th ranked guy give Alvarez one of these unranked welterweights.
