"This will be my best performance to date, I plan on going out and displaying every act of MMA, to show the viewers that don’t know what MMA is and don’t quite understand the sport…I want to display that Bellator fighting is here to stay and we’re going to put on exciting shows. There’s no doubt in my mind that come June 19th that I’ll have my title and will continue to be a champion of Bellator."
Lightweight sensation Eddie Alvarez -- just one win away from capturing the Bellator Lightweight World Championship -- talks about preparing for the fight of his life against upset specialist Toby Imada (22-12) for a championship purse of $175,000 and the right to hold the first ever Lightweight World Championship title at this Friday's Bellator XXII event from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
