Eddie Alvarez wants his disqualification loss to Iuri Lapicus overturned to reflect the victory he believes he earned at ONE on TNT on Wednesday night.
It was a controversial call in the opening bout of the main card after Alvarez took Lapicus to the ground during an early exchange in the first round and began hammering away with a series of vicious punches. During the offensive barrage, Alvarez landed numerous shots around the ear and the referee paused the action to admonish the former UFC champion for what he believed were illegal strikes.
