Dustin Poirier: Eddie Alvarez most ‘dangerous’ when he’s ‘cornered’

After a year’s worth of back-and-forth, bluster, and accusations of lies, Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez have finally signed to meet in what is going to be one of the UFC’s most hotly anticipated rematches in quite some time.

While Poirier had his fun taking jabs at Alvarez along the way, he understands that with the two set to tangle at UFC on FOX 30 in Calgary on July 28, things are about to get serious. And he’s not about to take Alvarez lightly.

“He’s a dangerous guy when the odds are against him,” Poirier said recently on The MMA Hour.
