This time, Bellator MMA’s big news didn’t drop on live TV. No painstakingly slow reveal. No cut to the silhouetted figure at the top of the ramp. No sound tech with his eager finger hovering over whatever button it is that makes that one Eminem song start up again. This one was relatively quiet , at least when compared to that other one . And yet the news that Eddie Alvarez is back with Bellator and the rematch with Michael Chandler is officially a go for November seems so much more important, like something that might actually give Bellator’s grand pay-per-view experiment a fighting chance. When Bellator announced that Tito Ortiz would be joining the company to face Quinton Jackson on its first pay-per-view card, it felt a little like when your two friends who are totally wrong for and utterly toxic to one another gather everyone together to announce that they’re having a baby
