Eddie Alvarez talks contract situation and impending free agency

Former Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez recently discussed his looming free agency. Check out some of the highlights below:
On the pressure of his impending free agency:
“I thought the pressure would be a lot greater than what it is, to be honest,” Alvarez told ESPN.com. “I’ve had zero distractions. The only thing I have to do all day is train and that creates a very dangerous person.”
On popularity playing a role in his contract situation:
“Popularity has nothing to do with talent or skill,” Alvarez said. “Regardless of where I go — if I’m fighting in some obscure country where no one sees me — my skill will always follow me. Just for me to know that I can beat any lightweight in the world is good enough.”
On where he wants to fight:
“For me, it’s about going and fighting where I can make the best living that I can for me and my family. Wherever that is, that’s where I’ll go.”
