Payout Perspective:
It was a good night for the co-main and main event on Fox. Poirier and Eddie Alvarez put on a great fight with The Diamond getting a right hand and a knee to the body that stunned Alvarez. Despite attempts to fight back, Alvarez succumbed to Poirier’s flurry. There was a controversial 12-6 elbow thrown by Alvarez which broke up a top position for Eddie which will be talked about as something that could have turned the fight around. Aldo returned to his old self with a vicious body shot which dropped Jeremy Stephens and eventually ended his night. Although the stoppage may have been premature, it was a good sign for Aldo who was written off after a losing streak.
