CALGARY – Eddie Alvarez set the record straight once he learned of Dustin Poirier’s disdain for him as a person going into their rematch at UFC on FOX 30. When discussing the fight with Alvarez (29-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) this weekend, Poirier (23-5 MMA, 15-4 UFC) said he has the utmost respect for the former UFC and Bellator champ when it comes to his MMA accomplishments. He made it clear his personal feelings don’t stack up the same way , though. Alvarez said that perception from his upcoming opponent is “totally false.” There’s been some unpleasant words exchanged since the pair fought to a controversial no-contest at UFC 211 in May 2017, but Alvarez said for that to leak over into a personal grudge is not the right move
