Dustin Poirier vs Eddie Alvarez 2 | Full Fight | UFC 302

[Music] Eddie Alvarez said he was going to throw leg kicks he said there's no way that Dustin porier could have recovered that quickly right after taking all that leg damage that he took from Justin gchi said he spoke to Justin gate you gate you said throw leg kicks and he feels like the leg kicks and also the body kicks are there when you're Orthodox versus Southpaw fighter and that is the reality we have here tonight Alvarez ripping the body effectively here early and you saw that in the fight against gatei he did a fantastic job of throwing body strikes and as the fight went longer it wore on Justin gate poier usually fights very well at range real good with the jab straight left hand is his best strike yep looked like maybe a clash of heads after poier landed the left hand but thankfully nobody got opened up porier said this time when he got him hurt he would take his time he wasn't rush so that he could get uh Eddie Alvarez out of there if he had the opportunity again porier sticks the jab and moves about a minute gone by here in round one of a possible five that's one of the things people don't notice about Dustin porier is he throws the jab but that straight left hand comes out quick he does not have to throw a jab before he throws the one like throw a onew he can just fire that left hand out there and because he hits so hard it does a it has a damaging effect on his opponents good to have you with us on Fox UFC Fight Night John anic Daniel Cormier on hand here in Calgary Alberta Canada this our main event the rematch between lightweight contenders Eddie Alvarez and Dustin porier nicely done there by Dustin who now closes the distance Alvarez rips the body and then goes up stairs Alvarez doing a pretty good job following up the body shots here early tonight Alvarez had a lot of success with gatei going to the body but they were conventional Fighter versus conven fighter as the southp is a little bit harder to find that liver but the Southpaw kicking has a much easier time find trying to find that liver shot that we saw Jose Aldo just finished Jeremy Stevens [Applause] with the poier corner was expecting Alvarez to wrestle tonight at least at times in this fight Alvarez 12 to nil takedown ratio in his UFC career he has never been taken down Cory a showboating a little bit he's starting to find his range as we come up on two minutes here round one it's because they're fighting at range they're long right Dustin can be long on Eddie Alvarez Eddie's very aware of this he told us in the fighter meetings I've got to get close when I'm fighting this kid I cannot let him stay at range where he's comfortable got to make it dirty but right now he's standing at the end of Dustin porier punches porier with a kick to the body [Applause] short Shots by Alvarez and a nice combination there Ed he's doing a really good job of Conor as Dustin enters Alvarez fainted the shot unofficial 0 for two on his takedown attempts thus far Mo both Fighters are much more patient this time y really taking their time trying to find the shot they know how durable and tough each of these each of their opponent is you know so they've got to take their time and of course that last fight at UFC 211 May of 2017 was only scheduled for three rounds this a five round Main Event Alvarez again realizing success to the body Alvarez one for four on his takedowns in the first meeting body strikes on point for Eddie Alvarez early coming up on 30 seconds to go round one nice jab by porier that right hand he's throwing the jab and sometimes he's throwing the right hand over the top good combination by Dustin Eddie picks the pace up a little bit nice slip and rip by Alvarez Alvarez with some nice lands porier counters but a strong open for the former UFC champion round two straight ahead on bucks Henry urgently called for the cupman who was not in there when Alvarez first took the stool so they could attend to specifically that damage underneath the left eye that's coming from the jab porier is doing a good job of throwing the jab and throwing that left straight and even though he's not throwing it with like 100% hard you know it's just Landing he's just touching him over and over again oh nice Spin and that one landed yes nice job by Alvarez good setup to that attack cor's chin held up as Alvarez attacks the body yet [Applause] again nothing doing on that quick choke attempt by Eddie Alvarez and porier gets back to his feet here early round two level change from Alvarez porier jump on a choke big winch from Alvarez yeah Alvarez is doing a good job though he's just pressing him into the fence trying to stay calm poier doesn't have it he has to be smart here oh it's under the arm Ed he's trying to change the angle porier has got to be very careful now he's starting to get deep nice job by Eddie Alvarez that is a veteran been in the game a long time now pory has to be smart here he can blow up his arm or he can let this go and the pro Alvarez crowd responds as Alvarez gets out of that choke attempt or Dustin Bales six career wins by submission for porier has never had one by way of that Guillotine and now we'll see what Alvarez can do 90 seconds into this second round lot of energy expenditure on both sides but for Dustin porier burning out those arms a little bit DC you'd think going for the guillotine yeah he did you know he was holding on to that Guillotine and Alvarez was kind holding him up but it looked like he was holding on to the fence as Dustin was trying to Guillotine choke him here okay yeah so we were just able to look at a replay of Eddie Alvarez seemingly grabbing the fence and it looked like Mark godd that's what he was urgently getting over there to stop and now Alvarez with a dominant position poier up against the fence got him stacked up against the side of the Octagon poier is going to have to give his back to get to his fence yep Alvarez slips a hook in poier is going to have to go back to the mat here he's going to have to go back to the mat this is a neck crank Alvarez cranking the neck he's got a neck crank there poier needs to be fighting the hands though he's got to relax and fight the hands that choke is not under the chin so just a crank at this point you see yeah and it's just uncomfortable it it sucks I'm not saying it doesn't suck it does suck but porier needs to fight the hands though he's not even attempting to fight the hands yet he's going to circle back in Alvarez Alvarez right to the m great grappling by Eddie Alvarez this is a round that has had a whole lot of different elements to it still two minutes to go see it's tough for Alvarez to get big shots off but he's controlling poier with his hips look at how much he's feeding his hips whereas he's not Landing the big damage but he's still able to actually move into him and keep secure but then he throws a 12 a 12 to six elbow I mean I don't understand how Eddie keeps making these mistakes this long at his career the elbow has to be on an angle you can't go 12 not my I have to call it don't go 12 [Applause] backen here's a look at the elbow straight up and down you cannot go straight up and down it has to has an arch or it has to turn in some way you cannot go straight up and down even even if it's to his shoulder and Mark OT all over it as such Alvarez relinquishes the position back to the center of the Octagon here about 90 seconds to go round two these guys just can't avoid controversy oh big knee by porier he's hurt he hurt Alvarez Alvarez is hurt again Alvarez tries to level change Now cover it up Eyes Only closed see you see if porier takes his time like he said oh big KNE fromt Alvarez dealing with some swelling with that left eye and the pressure from porier continues you see him trying to take his time and find the shot a little bit better Alvarez is done Eddie Alvarez is done right hand alvare Alvarez is still swinging though look at this what a warrior Eddie Alvarez that's the POR finish that was it Dustin porier closes the Rivalry and knocks out Eddie Alvarez wow what a performance Eddie alvare throwing the 12 to6 elbow ended up costing him the fight because poier got back to his feet hurt him with the hands and got the Finish Dustin porier a picture of composure though during all of those potentially compromising situations porier delivers again this time on the biggest stage of his career Dustin porier gets the better of Eddie Alvarez tonight and porier has had a lot of big wins in the UFC 16 of them now you got got to think this is the sweetest moment of this professional life oh it has to be and this is another former UFC champion now Anthony Pettis and Eddie Alvarez both in his span at three fights man it doesn't get much better for this and for a kid from Lafayette Louisiana this is a big big moment for Dustin porier you see Dustin porier measuring measuring Alvarez throws the inside kick gets checked and in the straight left hand lands right on the chin of Eddie Alvarez right here Dustin recognizes that that one took in effect and in a big knee on Alvarez coming in follow up with shots just throwing too many in a row you cannot take three four shots in a row from a guy that's as heavy-handed as Dustin porier from the back it looked like here Eddie's already hurt he's not out yet it's all the followup damage these clean shots that ended it he took kicks he took punches and went out on his shield if you like watching fights there should be no one you like watching better than Eddie Alvarez cuz this guy brings it but great finish by Dustin porier ladies and gentlemen referee Mark Gard is called a stop to this contest at 4 minutes 5 Seconds of round number two declaring the winner by TKO Dustin the [Applause] Diamond I told you so
