If you needed proof that Alan Jouban’s offensive flurry was halted by an injury Thursday night at UFC Fight Night 90, there is your answer.

Jouban, who stated after his win over Belal Muhammad that he believed he broke his left hand, did in fact do just that – in two places.

The fighter did earn “Fight of the Night” honors and an additional $50,000 for his effort.

Following the first of three consecutive events as part of UFC’s International Fight Week, UFC held their first post-fight press conference where a brand new UFC Champion spoke about his big victory in the main event.

Eddie Alvarez, the former Bellator Lightweight Champion, scored a first-round TKO victory over the now former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos, to become the new UFC 155-pound champion.

The Alvarez-Dos Anjos bout served as the first title fight and the first of three main events scheduled to take place this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Eddie Alvarez may have gone into his main event with surging champion Rafael dos Anjos at tonight’s (July 7, 2016) UFC Fight Night 90 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as a sizeable underdog.

In a familiar role, however, ‘The Underground King’ Alvarez continued the trend of massive title fight upsets in the UFC by stunning dos Anjos with a big shot early that opened the way for a flurry of endless pinpoint shots, finally prompting Herb Dean to stop the bout in the first round.

The win capped off a crowning achievement for former Bellator champion, who has now proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that he can defeat the truly elite fighters in the UFC. Watch the video highlights and the post-fight interview of Alvarez’ biggest win here:

Eddie Alvarez Asks Dana White For ‘Gimme Fight’ Against Conor McGregor

The dust had hardly settled on Eddie Alvarez’s emphatic first-round stoppage of former champ Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of last night’s (July 7, 2016) UFC Fight Night 90 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and talk had already shifted to just whom Alvarez would fight next in the stacked

The dust had hardly settled on Eddie Alvarez’s emphatic first-round stoppage of former champ Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of last night’s (July 7, 2016) UFC Fight Night 90 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and talk had already shifted to just whom Alvarez would fight next in the stacked UFC 155-pound fray.

Sure, there were top-level contenders like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson awaiting their shot at gold, but the predictable choice for the biggest event was obviously a fight with featherweight champion Conor McGregor, who’s set to rematch Nate Diaz at welterweight in the main event of August 20’s UFC 202.

There are still several roadblocks to get past in order to make McGregor vs. Alvarez a reality, but if a realistic chance does indeed arise, “The Underground King” is certainly all for it. He compared the deep UFC 155-pound talent pool to McGregor’s skills at the post-fight presser, and needless to say, it added up to Alvarez dubbing the ‘Notorious’ an easy fight.

He even told the Irish trash talker that he welcomes it directly:

“For me, I think by far, the best lightweight in this division is Rafael dos Anjos. I had the better night for sure, but this can go either way. There’s great competitors and there’s a real small margin for error. And if you mess up once, it could be me on the other end of that punch. So, this guy to the right of me is the best in the division, so to be able to come out with a win over him, and before him was Pettis, and before him was Gilbert, these are the best guys in the division. I’m not taking on Top 15, so I would ask Dana White to give me an easier fight like Conor McGregor. I deserve that, I’ve been fighting the best guys, so I would like a gimme fight, so Conor, I more than welcome that.”

Alvarez expounded upon that notion, adding his thoughts that McGregor has simply been given favorable match-ups throughout his undefeated run of the featherweight division, which stopped when he moved up in weight to take on a late replacement in Diaz only to be brutally submitted at March 5’s UFC 196.

Believing McGregor to be a one-trick pony, he offered the opinion that the UFC’s biggest star would be exposed in short order if he was ever to face a top 155-pound like himself or dos Anjos:

“There’s a lot of guys in the UFC who are good at one thing and they get matched up stylistically well and they make their way to the top without ever going against the best guys. The true best guys like Rafael dos Anjos and the best guys in the division. They sneak their way around them and they live on perception, not what really is. He’s one of ’em. So I think he could get found out, if he was ever to fight Rafael dos Anjos or myself, he would get found out very quickly.”

After a night filled with finishes, the UFC Fight Night 90 post-fight bonuses could have been dished out to a plethora of names, but the results are in.

Eddie Alvarez came into the main event and steam rolled through Rafael dos Anjos to become the undisputed UFC lightweight champion of the world. It was a right hand that started the onslaught and Alvarez was given a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his valiant effort.

Alan Jouban and UFC newcomer Belal Muhammad did battle in a welterweight fight earlier on the main card, and the two men brought it. Jouban appeared to be coasting to an easy victory after rocking and dropping Muhammad numerous times throughout the first two rounds, but Muhammad battled back with a series of heavy strikes of his own in the final frame. Jouban was ultimately given the decision, but both men received $50,000 “Fight of the Night” bonuses for their clash.

On the preliminary portion of the card, Pedro Munhoz defeated Russel Doane via a nasty first round guillotine choke. Munhoz was also rewarded with a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus.
