Eddie Alvarez prepares for crowning performance
by Jason Benfari on June 18, 2009

"This will be my best performance to date. I plan on going out and displaying every act of MMA to show the viewers that don't know what MMA is and don't quite understand the sport. I want to display that Bellator fighting is here to stay and we're going to put on exciting shows. There's no doubt in my mind that come June 19th that I'll have my title and will continue to be a champion of Bellator."

- Consensus top five lightweight, Eddie Alvarez, discusses the apex of his Bellator lightweight tournament run. Alvarez will face Toby Imada at Bellator Fighting Championships 12 with the winner walking away from the tournament $175,000 dollars richer. The fight takes place tomorrow at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
