Barring settlement, Eddie Alvarez vs. Bellator MMA will stretch well into 2014

BAD MMA News — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:05:00 +0000

Eddie Alvarez won’t be fighting any time soon if his case with Bellator MMA goes to trial. According to documents filed Monday in U.S. district court, the two parties aren’t required to see each other in court until after Sept. 15, 2014, when a pre-trial conference may take place. That means it could be near the end of 2014 before a jury gets involved, unless a settlement takes place. In January, the ex-champ and the Viacom-owned promotion filed dueling lawsuits primarily over a matching clause in the fighter’s contract. Alvarez (24-3 MMA, 8-1 BFC) seeks to free himself from the promotion to sign a deal with the UFC. The fighter largely has been quiet since giving a series of interviews accusing Bellator of shady behavior after the expiration of his previous contract with the promotion. Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney has denied any underhanded dealings with the fighter and indicated they’ll see each other in court. Attorneys for Alvarez and Bellator outlined a plan for moving forward with the case, which calls for the discovery portion to be completed by Feb. 28, 2014 and depositions, or out-of-court testimony, by July 28. The two may add parties to the case by Oct.

Scott Holtzman Moves Beyond Nick Newell Fiasco, Zeroes In On John Mahlow and XFC Belt

When MMAWeekly.com last spoke to Scott “Hot Sauce” Holtzman , he had just found out that his originally scheduled XFC 24 opponent, lightweight champion Nick Newell , decided to not defend his title. Newell was then stripped of his title and would eventually leave the XFC for the World Series of Fighting, leading to John Mahlow stepping in to face Holtzman for the vacant championship. And while he was able to brush off the initial awkwardness of the situation, Holtzman says in the weeks leading up to the fight, he’s had to go through it all over again. “I moved past the craziness there pretty quickly,” said Holtzman. “It was kind of wild for a day or two, but things settled down. “This week there’s been a flood of interviews and everybody wants to bring it up and talk about it again
