“He was the one who wanted to fight me, because he was the one who wanted to come to my category. I was doing my job, like I'm going to do on Thursday (UFC Fight Night 90) against Eddie Alvarez, which is to defend my belt. I can't weigh 66kg, I'm going to have to cut off my leg to do that, but he's the one who's saying he wants to be two-time champion in two categories. He’s the one who has a photo on his social media profile with two belts, not me. So, the day the UFC thinks he deserves to fight for my belt, I'll be here”, he said.
With 25 wins and seven losses in his career, the champion Rafael dos Anjos will put his belt on the line against Eddie Alvarez, who has 27 wins and four losses, in the main fight of UFC Fight Night 90 next Thursday (7).
