Kevin Lee: Eddie Alvarez has ‘got it all wrong,’ fans want to see me fight Nate Diaz

It didn’t take long for fighters to start calling out Nate Diaz after the enigmatic star hinted at a return to the Octagon in May or June.

One of those fighters was former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, and the 34-year-old MMA veteran believes a fight with Diaz would generate millions of dollars.

Kevin Lee, on the other hand, thinks Alvarez has ‘got it all wrong’ and believes fans would rather see a lightweight showdown between himself and Diaz.

“I see what Eddie’s trying to do, but I think the man’s just got it all wrong,” Lee told Ariel Helwani on a recent edition of The MMA Hour (h/t Shaun Al-Shatti of MMA Fighting).
