After years of back-and-forth discussion about which fighter is better, Eddie Alvarez finally got his win over  Gilbert Melendez when he scored a split decision victory in UFC 188’s co-main event. Alvarez (26-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC), a former Bellator MMA lightweight champion, and Melendez (22-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC), the former Strikeforce 155-pound titleholder, have wanted to fight each other for a long time. Unfortunately, they never had the opportunity because they weren’t in the same organization. Finally the stars aligned and they shared the octagon, and the result was an entertaining three-round affair in which Alvarez came out on top. Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Alvarez’s victory over Melendez at UFC 188. * * * * Talk is over.
