Eddie Alvarez - trash talks and Quotes

“No.1, it would be great to smash the calf to stop the momentum. Body shots super early, on anyone who has pace like Merab... You have to go to the body, really early in the fight. You won't feel the effect of it until you feel the offensive attacks wane when the third, fourth, and fifth rounds come around. You realize, 'Wow, he's not attacking nearly as much as he usually does.' That's the investment in the body shots coming to fruition. - via an interview with Mike Bohn, advising Petr Yan to target Dvalishvili's calf and make an early, relentless investment in body shots to slow down Dvalishvili's relentless pace.”

“[He] gotta, what we would call 'flatten his tires' by investing in the body super early... Maybe knees to the solar plexus, to the liver, and always just relentlessly invest in body shots... If he does that, and he can score enough of them, we can slow the pace of Merab enough to where we can turn it into a fight. - via an interview with Mike Bohn, advising Petr Yan to target Dvalishvili's calf and make an early, relentless investment in body shots to slow down Dvalishvili's relentless pace.”

“I think UFC just keeps using Arman to fill cards. And that's your fault. It's your responsibility to go out there and do something that fans want to see, that fans get excited about... The fans want to see something special, something unbelievable. They want to see excitement, blood, guts, and you have to give the customer what they want. - via MMA Junkie, suggesting that Arman Tsarukyan is to blame for being overlooked because he needs to adjust his style to be more exciting and entertaining for the fans.”

“So, if you're not getting the fights you want, you're not getting moved up the division the way you want, maybe you have to adjust your style. You can be a ground guy and be exciting. Khabib [Nurmagomedov] was very exciting when he took people down and ground and pounded. He was always working to get a finish. - via MMA Junkie, suggesting that Arman Tsarukyan is to blame for being overlooked because he needs to adjust his style to be more exciting and entertaining for the fans.”
