"I made a promise to Philly, and I'm gonna finish this guy- not just win, but put him away in front of a sold out crowd at The Wells Fargo Center- in front of my hometown"- Eddie Alvarez
A HOMETOWN THROWDOWN....THIS IS A MUST LISTEN. Philly legend, UFC Champ, and MMA Master Eddie Alvarez sits down with Jessie to talk all things Knucklemania: January 25th @ The Wells Fargo Center- which is being described as a "Grudge Match" GET TIX HERE!
Opponent Jeremy Stevens trashed the entire city of Philadelphia.
Eddie says "Philadelphia has a weird way of humbling you, and Stevens went "full heel" and that's not the way you wanna go about it- it didn't have to be that way".
We talk about his life growing up in Kensington, when and why he decided to go into MMA, his "cheat code" as a result of his childhood in Philly, and how that's going to help him to win this fight.
If you have never jumped into the world of professional fighting (like me)- this is an eye opening interview that will inspire the hell out of you, give you chills, make you laugh, and get you insanely excited to witness this match on January 25th.
