Also took place tonight for the Belator Lightweight Championship and deserves mention here. Like Hendo-Shogun, it turned out to be an epic battle with Charles, despite bleeding like a stuck pig and being so close to being put away by Eddie, came back to win via rnc in the 4th round. Both of these guys had incredible conditioning and wills of steel. A new mma star was born tonight - Michael Chandler - now 9-0 in his career. Alvarez will be back for sure. I met him when he came through the airport on his way to the fight. He said he spars often with UFC champ Frankie Edgar. Both live and train in south jersey.
Incredible fight. I'm disappointed, as I am a huge Alvarez fan, but Chandler just capitalized perfectly on a good opportunity. Eddie really needs to better avoid getting rocked so much.
