UFC lightweight Eddie Alvarez fought Gilbert Melendez at UFC 188, in Mexico City, and pulled out a close decision win over the former Strikeforce champion.
News broke yesterday that Melendez had failed a drug test for UFC 188 and of course Alvarez had plenty to say on the matter.
Alvarez took to Twitter and posted several tweets commenting on the situation, mostly saying he will never test positive for anything, but did refrain from slamming his past opponent.
