Eddie Alvarez might just have the most impressive list of accolades in mixed ma𓆉rtial arts histo🍨ry, but Din Thomas says that does not equate to the best overall fighter.
Alvarez (30-7) will serve in the co-main event of ONE on TNT 1 vs. Iuri Lapicus (14-1). "The Underground King" has captured championship belts in five different organizations, including UFC and Bellator. Thomas gave his assessment on Alvꦫarez's career while examining a list of ex-pupil Dustin Poirier's opponents.
"This was tough because I think Eddie's achievements surpass his skill set. When you talk about body of work in a career, I don't think there is anybody — with the exception of Conor [McGregor] — on this list who has had a career like Eddie," Thomas explained. "He has dominated different leagues and here is a kid from the streets of Philly who came up on his own and did it all on his own. I remember seeing him back in New Jersey about 15-years-ago. He was just a kid. To watch him grow has been incredible. He is super tough, super durable."
ONE on TNT 1 takes place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore on April 7. The card is headlined by a ONE Championship flyweight title fight between Adrian♉o Moraes and Demetrious Johnson. Keep up with Fightful for your event-related coverage.
