Eddie Alvarez walked out of the octagon in Mexico City, Mexico with his hands held high as he fought for and earned a tough split decision win. An argument could be made for either Alvarez or Gilbert Melendez to win the fight, but Alvarez is already looking forward to his next opponent.<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz bashed Eddie Alvarez<\/a> after his fight with Melendez and sent out a challenge.<\/p>\n

Alvarez explained on the MMA Hour<\/a> that he thought he had a good relationship with the Diaz Brothers. However, that all changed at the UFC 188 weigh ins when Alvarez had an altercation with veteran Nate Diaz.<\/p>\n

“When I went there to Mexico, Nate just kind of changed his tune completely,” said Alvarez. “I guess that’s how he is when you’re fighting one of his teammates. I get it. He takes this sh*t personal, he takes it serious. I get it, but I thought it was kind of weird.”<\/p>\n

When Alvarez confronted Diaz after the weigh ins, Diaz simply responded, “F*** you.” Alvarez then responded, “If you’re really gonna be like that, then you’re f*****g next.”<\/p>\n

When asked if it was a bout he would seriously consider, Alvarez shared that he thought it would actually be a step in the wrong direction for his career. However, if he was sent a bout agreement he would sign it.<\/p>\n

“He’d honestly be a step backward right now and considering he hasn’t really been active it just wouldn’t make sense,” Alvarez said. “I never pick fights. If I get a bout agreement in the mail, I’ll sign it. I’m just letting you know that.”<\/p>\n
