Eddie Alvarez debuted in the UFC with a loss to Donald Cerrone, only the fourth of his professional career, and he hates it, more than anything:

After more than a decade it was, after all, just the fourth time the fighter from Philly had lost. A complete martial artist, just about the only thing Alvarez isn’t good at inside the cage is losing.

“It was rough for awhile,” he admited to FOX Sports.

“I’m not good at losing. I haven’t lost often. I got hurt early in the fight and thought, ‘If I keep surviving, I’ll get my chance to knock him out,’ but that chance never came, and I lost.
