"When I think about it, the anxiety in me increases, and when that happens, I can't stand still, I can't get out of the gym. I'm up early, I'm home late. My anxiety increases because I can't have a guy that is not well known take my name, take my spot. It sounds weird. People think you don't have to be worried about this guy. No, on the contrary, you better be f------ worried for this guy because this is the guy who can completely erase you from the rankings and take your name in the blink of an eye and in one fight. That fire's there. That fear is there like it's never been against guys like this."

Great mindset IMO. Also very true. Someone like Curran who doesn't have the name yet can steal Eddie's thunder.

I like it. This is exactly the kind of mindset he should have because a loss can happen at any time and if it's to someone like Curran right now it would be very damaging for Alvarez' stock. Kind of like Lytles fight a few weeks ago. Lytle wasn't ranked terribly high or anything but he just got his ass handed to him by someone who some of the hardcore fans never heard of/didn't remember.

Curran is a nice up and comer, however, Alvarez will be to much for him. I like the mindset, though, guys like Page could learn something from Eddie.

For Eddie though it is even more important. Being a LW outside of the UFC it will be very tough for him to climb back up the rankings. A loss to a guy like Curran could set him back big time.

No doubt, this is a huge opportunity for Curran.

Very funny...I can't believe my mod status got yanked though considering that this was my first prolonged absence from the board.

Black is my color. Thanks sooner.

Thanks man. I've missed this place but shit was crazy for awhile with a new job and a new baby. Finally getting free time again.

I was in the Cotton Bowl this last season, I saw how your boys did it then lol. After that losing streak you know I have to celebrate that win

Eddie should be worried.

Judging by Pat Curran's last two fights he does not even have to really win to get a win.
