Cuki “The Flying Cockroach” Alvarez said he is open to returning to the octagon if the opponent and price is right.
The Trench Tech Promotions president, who has a 6-0 win-loss slate in MMA, said he believes he still has what it takes to succeed in the sport but is simply waiting for a fight opportunity he simply couldn’t refuse.
“If and only if an opportunity arises with PXC (Pacific Xtreme Championship) or another organization and the money is right, I may consider doing it again. We’ll just have to wait and see…Eli Monge of PXC are you reading this?” he said.
The now 41-year-old fighter started his MMA career with a first round stoppage of Billy “The Kid” Ada at FURY 7 in December 2005.
He then made it 2-0 when he defeated Joey Tajeron via shoulder dislocation in March 2006 at FURY Fighting Islands 4.
Alvarez ran his record to 3-0 after winning his bout against Leo “Lion Heart” Cing via unanimous decision at FURY 8 in December 2006.
Brian “Shotgun” Howard was the next to fall against “The Flying Cockroach” after losing via head-and-arm triangle choke submission in PXC 13: Back From The Dead in December 2007.
Alvarez’s last two fight came against Pete “Dragon” Deleon Guerrero and Wyeneu “One Time” Bamba in Gorilla Warfare 1: Predator or Prey and PXC 19, respectively.
He beat Deleon Guerrero by referee stoppage due to flurry of punches in August 2008, while Bamba fell via a north South Kimura arm lock during their bout in May 2010.
“I know I have the work ethic and skill set to fight at anytime, I just need to have the burning desire and mindset to want to do it again. I am at a point in my life where I am very content with just teaching and guiding my fighters and have them compete under my tutelage. It gives me a greater satisfaction and accomplishment more than fighting itself,” Alvarez said on his decision to fight sparingly.
