On Tuesday August 13, 2013 a rematch was announced for the first ever Bellator pay-per-view. Many were surprised when they heard it was between Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez.
October 2012 was the last time we saw Alvarez inside the Bellator cage and since then there has been some legal drama between himself and the organization. So him re-signing seemed to be a shot in the dark.
Eddie Alvarez releases official statement regarding re-signing with Bellator
However, when he did, the media and general public came up with many speculations.
On Friday, Authentic Sports Management today issued the following statement from Eddie Alvarez regarding the settlement with Bellator:
“Recently there has been speculation in the media regarding my settlement with Bellator. The settlement is involved and complicated and contains many contingencies. The terms of the settlement are confidential and neither I, nor my representatives, are going to release these terms to anyone. The speculations, which have been printed, are just that, speculations, and could not possibly be completely accurate as the settlement is over forty (40) pages long. I would suggest that these speculations are helping no one, and respectfully request that they cease immediately. All I want to do is fight.”
The rematch between Alvarez and Chandler will go down on November 2 from the Long Beach Arena in California.
