Timofey Nastyukhin had something to say about Eddie Alvarez’s highly touted debut with ONE Championship.
Nastyukhin (13-4) upset former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion Alvarez (29-7) in the opening round of the lightweight grand prix tournament, which was Alvarez’s debut with the promotion at “ONE Championship 92: A New Era.”
Alvarez signed with ONE in 2018 after leaving the UFC. The American is a former Bellator and UFC lightweight champion and was hoping to add a third major promotion’s title to his resume.
