Eddie Alvarez’s coach Henri Hooft spoke with MMAjunkie and related Alvarez’s reaction to anthony Pettis wanting a rematch with Rafael dos Anjos. Check out the highlights:

Alvarez on his reaction to Pettis’ request for a title shot: “Straight outta line – that’s what Pettis is.”

Alvarez on Pettis not deserving the shot: “Pettis thinks if someone gets injured he gets another title shot? This is a guy that lost bad to dos Anjos. Pettis doesn’t deserve that fight. Hey Pettis stop calling out ‘injury bug.’ It’s not gonna happen. You know what else isn’t gonna happen? Eddie Alvarez vs. Anthony Pettis. He won’t fight me. He knows I’ll knock him straight outta contention.”
