Eddie Alvarez sollte eigentlich am 2 July in Calgary bei UFC on FOX 30 in einem Refight auf Dustin Poirier treffen. Nun sagte Alvarez jedoch, dass er zuerst einen neuen UFC Vertrag will, ansonsten wuerde er vorher nicht mehr antreten. Bei MMAHour sagte Alvarez:
“It’s not f*cking happening. I’m not fighting until I get a new deal. The only thing we spoke of was re-signing and we haven’t come to that agreement yet. So I’m guessing there’s not going to be an opponent or a bout agreement in the mail unless I’m ready to re-sign. So when we come to agreement to re-sign, then I’m sure there will be a bout agreement in the mail.”
