"I didn't care how big the dude was, how scary he looked, it didn't matter, I was like 'I'm in the UFC already.' I got so many messages, support systems, the signs I was seeing, just looking around- I would see so many signs. Just, I don't know. God giving me a sign- this was really my time. I capitalized on it, and you seen what happened."
"They don't really got that many American, I feel, American top ten fighters, and I want to get that ranking up as fast as I can. Take out as many big hitters as I need to to get my spot solidified and start making that big money. Because I got a lot of mouths to feed. I've got seven brothers, I've got a mom back at the house. They're still going through it."
Christopher Alvidrez visualized being in the UFC before competing on the Contender Series and claims he saw signs that it was his time. He earned a UFC contract after a violent first-round finish of Eliezer Kubanza that included punches, elbows and a knee. Alvidrez now plans to rise through the welterweight division and pursue top-ten American opponents to secure a ranking quickly. He expressed urgency to start winning to support seven brothers and his mother, citing financial responsibility. He moved to Miami to further his career and intends to use UFC earnings to relocate and provide for his family.
