Rebney "Alvarez can still demand 3rd chandler fight

When Will Brooks overcame 10-1 odds to defeat Michael Chandler Saturday night at Bellator 120, many thought that the biggest fight in Bellator - Alvarez vs. Chandler III was off the table. As the fight is the last on Alvarez's contract, it was presumed the fight would never happen.



Alvarez is currently Bellator's lightweight champion, and was supposed to have fought Saturday night, but withdrew with a concussion. Brooks won Bellator's Interim Lightweight champion, but will not necessarily get an immediate chance to fight Alvarez.



"Ed's contract specifies that Ed can demand a Chandler fight. So, it puts us in a very interesting position now," said Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney to MMAFighting, as transcribed by BloodyElbow.



"We're going to have to go to Ed. We're going to have to talk to him about it. We're going to have to see where his head is. He could conceptually demand a Michael Chandler fight even with Mike coming off of a loss to Will Brooks."
