UFC on FOX 30 is in the books, and I’d say this card made up for the trash fire that was UFC 149. Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez had an unwanted no-contest outcome to their first fight, but the rematch was as good as advertised, and this time Poirier was able to put the notoriously tough Alvarez away late in round 2. Of course, this all started with Marc Goddard standing Alvarez up from full mount when he landed a 12-to-6 elbow on the collarbone of Poirier. It doesn’t matter where you land it, a 12-to-6 elbow is illegal, and it appears as if Alvarez’s corner even instructed him to throw it, which is utterly incomprehensible if that was the case.
