" You don’t want to be in a fight of the year. It takes years off your life. But, it’s why fans tune in; it’s why people gravitate toward your fights. It’s why people want to watch you fight. It’s important to get into them, but it’s important to try not to get into too many of them. " - Eddie Alvarez

" I don’t need to be told what I am or what I should do or if I beat this guy it means I’m good or if I lose to that guy it means I’m bad. I’m at peace with myself, and I know what I do every day in my training will speak for itself, and success will be a byproduct. " - Eddie Alvarez

" I have a tremendous support from a lot of the Underground fans. They believe in me, they want to see me do well, and they’re behind me. But there are a lot of people out there who don’t believe it, and so I want to separate perception and reality. I want to be able to do that. " - Eddie Alvarez

" I boxed. I did track and field; I did basketball, football, any sport I was able to sign up for. " - Eddie Alvarez
