UFC on ABC 7 was host of many important results, but perhaps the most impressive one came from Spain’s Joel Alvarez, and he’s got a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus to back that claim.
Earlier this month, Alvarez (21-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) returned to the cage after a year of inactivity and put away a tough Elves Brener in the opening bout of the UFC on ABC 7 main card in Abu Dhabi. “El Fenomeno” walked down Brener and picked him apart with his sharp striking until he got the finish in Round 3.
Despite the impressive win and the bonus, Alvarez didn’t get a spot in the official UFC rankings. Although he expected it not to happen, he does believe he’s among the elite.
