Even for a short moment, maybe a short period of five years, ten years. It's about the competition and the length of time. If you win a third world title in your third major organization, does that make you the GOAT at 155 pounds?ĮA: I think without it without a doubt. It's never been done.ĭAZN: I remember asking Cris Cyborg before she fought for the Bellator featherweight title about if she won a fourth world title in her fourth major organization, does that her the greatest women's fighter of all time. It's something that’d never been recorded. It'll complete every single major organization in the world. When I get the third world title, it'll make history. It's a feat that won't be done and won't be repeated. I've been fighting since I was 19 years old, and to be able to sustain this level of competition, be one of the best lightweights in the world for two decades and continue to win world championships over and over. I'm going on my second decade to fighting soon. You're just coming in as a puppy, and everything's new. One, it's easy to do when you're young, energetic, and excited about the sport. There's a missing spot right here.ĭAZN: What would it mean to you to win another world title in another organization?ĮA: It means everything. That's going to be the ONE championship belt.

What's the favorite thing on their trophy case behind?Įddie Alvarez: My favorite thing isn’t here yet. You got some gloves, some belts, some pictures.
