After his recent loss to Mike Perry at BKFC 56, Eddie Alvarez looked back on the match, pointed out the major mistakes, and expressed interest in a possible rematch. The Underworld King admitted that he may have given Perry too much size and weight during the match, which took place at 175 pounds. He suggests that fighting in a lower weight class, around 165 pounds, might have been a better strategy.
In an interview with The MMA Hour, Alvarez said he loved the way he fought, even though he suffered a broken eye socket from a big shot. He faced Perry in the center of the ring, trying to land powerful shots, much like he did against Justin Gaethje. Alvarez believes he badly injured Perry early in the fight, but he admits that some small adjustments could have made the difference, such as attacking his opponent more after inflicting the injury. .
Alvarez stressed that the weight difference affected the outcome of the fight and would like to have a rematch at a weight closer to his original weight. He maintains his confidence in defeating Mike Perry and says fighting at 165 pounds would be ideal. Despite his loss, Alvarez remains optimistic about his performance and the possibility of future fights at more appropriate weights.
