Bellator hat nun ihren BFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez die Kuendigung gewaehrt, sodass Eddie Alvarez sofort bei der UFC unterschreiben konnte und bei UFC 178 sein UFC Debut gegen Donald Cerrone geben wird. Alvarez hatte seit ueber einem Jahr versucht zur UFC zu kommen, doch Bjorn Rebney lies ihn nicht gehen. Es folgte ein Rechtsstreit, und nun da Rebney nicht mehr da ist, hat Scott Coker der Entlassung zugestimmt.
Scott Coker meinte:
“We’ve granted Eddie his unconditional release. Eddie is free to explore the free agent market, we hold no matching rights, and we wish him the best in the future. We sat down with Eddie and his team a few times, and it became pretty clear early on that he just wasn’t interested in fighting for Bellator in the future. We want guys in this organization that want to be here, and after the history Eddie and the former regime had here at Bellator, we decided to move on. We wish Eddie the absolute best of luck with whatever is next for him. It’s a new chapter for everyone involved.”
