When was Eddie Alvarez peak?

[13Seconds]

Was it when he beat Chandler to reclaim the Bellator strap? Or when he blasted RDA in the first round to win UFC gold?

 

[TheSpider]

When he beat prime Chandler in the rematch

Even in his prime, while good, he had questionable decision wins in the UFC and lost to Cowboy (who pretty much loses to all the top caliber fighters) He beat an RDA who had passed out moments before the fight, RDA should not have been medically cleared to fight that night imo.

His peak was when he became ufc champ then a steep decline soon after.

EDDDIEEEEEEE

make yur ears bleed

 

[RedFoxNdisBihhh]

he had the worst ever performance against conor ..

slow mo makes it look even more pathetic


id say his best was in bellyTore .. but he def found that hunger again when he knew a guaranteed HUGE payday was coming for the winner against conor

Hard to say. Eddie had a long prime, IMO 2008-2017ish were his best years. Maybe 2012-2016 Eddie.

 

[dalegordon]

Probably ten seconds before the mcgregor fight started

 

[BenjaminDuffy]

His greatest achievement was winning the UFC title, but he was already in decline by that point. In a vacuum, his best performance, peak Eddie, was the Chandler win.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Going in as the champ in a huge fight. That day, before Conor outclassed and dominated him

 

[gonads20]

When he beat Gaethje.

This. Chandler is easily his best win IMO. Especially considering they'd already fought.

dana and conor wanted eddie the short blown up wressler to win that they knew eddie gets dropped and hurt easy a easy pick for conor to win the belt from same with cowboy but it backfired against diaz

I don't think Conor cared who he fought, he was willing to fight RDA, and he did end up fighting the LW GOAT Khabib. But Eddie definitely is an easy stylistic matchup for Conor, easier than RDA/Tony/Khabib. I mean just look at what Conor did to Nate in the first 2 rounds of the second fight, dropping durable cardio machine Nate multiple times. No chance chinny brawler Eddie was gonna win that fight.

Definitely wouldn't put it past Dana though lol.
