LAS VEGAS – UFC President Dana White likes former lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez . But White still is compelled to set the record straight on UFC pay. Alvarez, who signed with ONE Championship last year after fighting out his UFC contract, claimed in a recent interview that interim belts were given out in lieu of higher compensation. White said that’s simply not true. “I like Eddie, I have a great relationship with Eddie, but he was talking about how we give interim titles so you don’t have to pay a guy so much, or some weird comment like that,” White said Friday at a press conference for UFC 236, which takes place April 13 in Atlanta.
