Podcast: Eddie Alvarez, Christos Giagos

TJ De Santis and Sherdog.com contributor Jesse Denis returned to the Sherdog Radio Network on Monday for another edition of "Beatdown." Joining them was newly inked UFC lightweight contender Eddie Alvarez and freshly crowned RFA champion Christos Giagos.

Alvarez joined the program to discuss his recent release from Bellator MMA, his upcoming UFC debut against Donald Cerrone, and his thoughts on establishing himself as a title contender.

Giagos took the RFA lightweight championship Friday night when he knocked out Dakota Cochrane in highlight-reel fashion. Giagos joined "Beatdown" to discuss the win, whether this victory is enough to earn a call from a bigger promotion, and if he felt the Cochrane stoppage was a bit too late.

De Santis and Denis also take a look at the latest mixed martial arts news in "Quick Hits."
