LAS VEGAS – UFC President Dana White believes, after months of the fighter’s legal jousting with his current home, Eddie Alvarez ‘s best course of action may be fighting again for Bellator MMA. Alvarez, Bellator’s former lightweight champion and a recent prized free agent, received a UFC offer in late 2012. The lucrative deal included a $250,000 signing bonus, likely six-figure fight purses and potentially a piece of pay-per-view revenue. But after Bellator made what it deemed a matching offer, the two sides filed dueling lawsuits. Now, barring a settlement, they won’t be required to see each other in court until after Sept. 15, 2014 . White knows that means 29-year-old Alvarez (24-3), who hasn’t fought since an October knockout of Patricky “Pitbull” Freire at Bellator 76, could be on the sidelines for two years during the peak of his career.
