Eddie Alvarez: “I Will Not Fail” Vs. Rafael Dos Anjos For UFC Title

rafael-dos-anjos-eddie-alvarez-ufc-fight-night-90-ufn-90

Eddie Alvarez was one regarded as the top lightweight in the world when he was dominating foes in Bellator MMA.

Next month at UFC Fight Night 90, Alvarez will have the chance to secure his standing once more, as he meets Rafael dos Anjos for the title.

Since coming over to the UFC, Alvarez (27-4) has scored back-to-back decision victories vs. Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez. In 2014, he lost his Octagon debut to Donald Cerrone.

Dos Anjos (25-7) is on a five-fight win streak that includes a finish over Cerrone and wins vs. Pettis, Nate Diaz and Benson Henderson.

“I don’t know if there’s going to be a single person or anything that’s going to be able to get in my way come that date,” said Alvarez, during an appearance on The MMA Hour. “Not a chance. I will not fail. I’m going to win this world title. I’ve told a lot of people this for a long time. I made a lot of promises. So, he’s good.

“I’m not taking a single thing away from him, the guy is good at what he does, but that night, there’s not much he’s going to be able to do (to stop) me from winning that world title. Not a single thing.”

UFC Fight Night 90 kicks off a three-event stretch for the UFC around International Fight Week in Las Vegas. The entire card airs live on UFC Fight Pass.

Roy Nelson Wants Title Shot Against Stipe Miocic, Says UFC “Owes Him”

roy-nelson

When Stipe Miocic beat Fabricio Werdum to become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil earlier this month, it inspired fellow UFC Heavyweight Roy “Big Country” Nelson.

Roy Nelson spoke about watching Miocic win the heavyweight title from Werdum during his appearance on “The MMA Hour” at MMAFighting.com last week.

“All I know is that Stipe gave me inspiration because if Stipe can be that UFC champion, and they actually gave him a title shot, then I’m like, ‘Ah, I do have a chance,'” Nelson told show-host Ariel Helwani.

“Big Country” continued, talking about the style that Miocic used to beat Werdum, referring to it as “point fighting,” a style he felt Miocic also used to win a unanimous decision over him when they fought inside the Octagon.

“He did the point fighting with me too,” Nelson said. “He ran. You can actually see him, you know, like the people who are track stars. But I would love to fight Stipe again, especially now, because he’s the champ, and with a full camp. I would love a full camp.”

Before he can challenge Miocic for the title, Nelson must first get through his next challenge, UFC Heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis. According to “Big Country,” Lewis reminds him of an old Fedor Emelianenko.

“The one thing about Derrick is that he reminds me of a bigger version of Fedor, like when he gets that ground-and-pound going he’ll just beat you up,” Nelson explained. “And then, the one thing is that he’s calm, cool and collected when you take him down, and you know, he just muscles back up and puts the wrath on. The one thing I like is that he comes to fight. That’s what makes him fan friendly.”

Nelson concluded, “Stipe has the belt, then Stipe. I just think the UFC owes it to me to give me a full camp to beat him up. But I’m not worried about that right now. All I care about is Derrick.”

Roy “Big Country” Nelson fights Derrick Lewis at UFC Fight Night 90 on July 7, 2016. UFN 90 is headlined by a UFC Lightweight title fight between Rafael dos Anjos and Eddie Alvarez.
