Review: 2011-11-19, very aggressive start, great actions both standing and on the ground, high pace and a nice submission: the fight between Eddie Alvarez and Michael Chandler was definitely one of the best mma fights of 2011. Eddie Alvarez (22-2-0) entered as the No.4 lightweight in the world while Michael Chandler (8-0-0) entered as the No.52. Alvarez vs Chandler, main event of the Bellator 58, is valid for the Bellator Lightweight Championship (they also fought a second time on November 2, 2013: Chandler vs Alvarez 2). Watch the video!

I LOVE EDDIE ALVAREZ.. HOPE HE IS DOING WELL WITH THIS BROKEN JAW AND COMES BACK SOON AND RETREIVES HIS BELT FROM THE DUDE.
Eddie is so gracious post fight…Chandler looked gone @2:30 in to the 3rd but he looked fresh at the start of the 4th….amazing
