UFC 211’s slugfest between Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier ended up being ruled a No Contest (NC) after Alvarez unintentionally landed a series of illegal knees to Poirier in the second round.
Poirier, who recently shut out Anthony Pettis at UFC Fight Night 120, felt the bout should have been declared a DQ loss for Alvarez and has been campaigning for a rematch with ‘The Underground King’ ever since.
Alvarez, though, who knocked out former WSOF lightweight champion Justin Gaethje a couple of weeks ago at UFC 218, thinks a rematch with ‘The Diamond’ would be a huge step back.
