Eddie Alvarez: Rafael Dos Anjos At UFC 200, If Not, Nate Diaz

Eddie Alvarez has two potential fights in mind moving forward in 2016.

The former Bellator champion told FightHype.com recently that he wants to meet UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 200 in July. But, if that doesn’t work out, Alvarez has another opponent in mind.

“I am pushing as hard as I can for this title shot,” he said in the interview, which you can view below. “We’re going for the champ.

“If dos Anjos doesn’t give me a shot at the world title, then the (Nate) Diaz fight.”

Diaz is coming off a win over Conor McGregor and views himself as the top contender to dos Anjos, as well.

Alvarez (27-4) is on a two-fight win streak and is 5-1 over his last six, losing only in his Octagon debut to Donald Cerrone.
