Morning Report: Eddie Alvarez explains why he’s ‘not super excited’ about Dustin Poirier rematch

On Thursday, it was announced that Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier would finally have the rematch to their controversial no-contest at UFC 211. But while Poirier has been calling for the rematch for months, Alvarez has been less keen on the idea. Yesterday, after it was announced that Alvarez had signed the bout agreement and was waiting on Poirier to do so also, “The Underground King” took to Instagram Live to explain why he was cool on the idea of a rematch but why he agreed to it anyway.
