Eddie Alvarez ’s coach Mark Henry takes full responsibility for the illegal elbow that resulted in a fight-altering standup against Dustin Poirier at UFC on FOX 30. “On a blame scale of 1 to 10, it’s 100 on me,” Henry today told MMAjunkie. Henry said he intended Alvarez (29-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) to throw elbows with a lateral arc, similar to those used by fighters defending takedowns against the fence, when he shouted instructions and then physically directed his fighter in the second round against Poirier (24-5 MMA, 16-4 UFC).
