When was Eddie Alvarez peak?

Eddie was already past his prime when he came to the UFC. He had already been in so many wars in his career.

Bellator was peak Eddie.
 
Red Panty Night - the summit of MMA
 
Back in Bellator for sure. Around the first or 2nd Chandler fight. He peaked at that point and slowly started to decline
 
Around the time he stopped Aoki and Pitbull in consecutive fights.

lol at saying with a straight face "yeah the time he won 1 fight out of 5... THAT was Eddie's prime. Conor beat the best."

But that is what these Conor fans are saying... and they're actually serious. These people are embarrassing as hell.

I'd say the streak where he was finishing people left, right, and center. Pre-UFC. Aoki win was great. Props to Chandler for beating him back then, and that is BY FAR Chandler's best career win.

That fight was comical in how often both guys were dropping each other lol.

I'd say his career best preformance was against Justin gatheje. Outside of the leg kicks he battered Justin's body and threw a perfect knee.

Doesn't have one, inconsistent fighter.

Ridiculous statement. He had a 10 fight win streak, then a 5, then a 7, then after a close loss to prime Cowboy, he beat Melendez, Pettis, and RDA. Then after his loss to Conor he finished Gaethje. He's been consistently good and sometimes great.

His career has been littered with losses, he's looked shit and amazing back to back multiple times.

EDIT: Being inconsistent and not having a prime isn't a dig, it's just what I perceive. Wasn't intended to be a statement, just get sick of putting IMO all the damn time.

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.

the most important win was RDA, his peak was prob Chandler 2 (although might have been the Aoki/Patricky fights tbh), but, I think his best fights/wins were the Dida/Hellboy/Kawajiri run in Dream. Unreal stuff there honestly.

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.

Not moments, the night before. But I agree he shouldn't have fought
 
RDA probably. Conor absolutely tooled him and I think he lost a lot of confidence.

RDA withdrew from the Conor fight.
