CALGARY, Alberta — Eddie Alvarez believes the only path for him after UFC on FOX 30 is the lightweight title.
The former 155-pound champion said Wednesday at open workouts here at The Palace Theatre that, for him, it’s either Khabib Nurmagomedov for the belt or bust if he can beat Dustin Poirier on Saturday.
“There is no one,” Alvarez said. “I just simply don’t see no gain anywhere except for Khabib. That’s it. I don’t know if the UFC — I don’t see them putting anyone else in front of me.
