Bellator 106 results, LIVE online fight coverage stream for 'Chandler vs Alvarez 2' on Spike TV

Nov. 2, 2013, has finally arrived, meaning Bellator 106 is here, even though the mixed martial arts (MMA) card looks much different than its original incarnation.

Bellator 106 was supposed to mark the organization's pay-per-view (PPV) debut; however, a last-minute injury to Tito Ortiz forced him out of the main event against Quinton Jackson. "Chandler vs. Alvarez 2" now takes place LIVE from Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, Calif., beginning at 7 p.m. ET with two hours of "Prelims" under action that you can watch in the embedded video player below before moving to Spike TV at 9 p.m. ET.

Spike TV's televised portion of the main card will begin at 9 p.m. ET, which is the same time MMAmania.com will starts its round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage BELOW (scroll down) courtesy of onsite correspondent C.J. Tuttle who is seated in press row.

Bellator 106 is headlined by a rematch between Michael Chandler vs. Eddie Alvarez, a scrap for all the marbles with the Lightweight championship on the line, as well as Chandler's undefeated record (12-0).

In the co-main event, "King Mo" will finally get his chance to prove his first knock out loss to "The Hardcore Kid" Emanuel Newton at Bellator 90 was a fluke, and if he can repeat history, he will take home the interim Light Heavyweight belt.

Rounding out the main card is the rematch of Pat Curran vs. Daniel Straus, which is for Bellator's Featherweight crown and the Finale of the much delayed "Fight Master" competition, which features former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Joe Riggs looking to dispatch Mike Bronzoulis.

If there ever was a time to start over with Bellator, tonight is the night. So sit back, follow our live scorecards and enjoy the show. Please note the card is listed below in reverse chronological order, thus results will start at the bottom of the page.

Mo throws a big combination of body and head shots against the cage, Newton bounces off the steel, moves forward and lands a couple big shots of his own. Lots of spinning shit from Newton. Couple body kicks from Newton, they have been landing and they are keeping Mo honest. I think Mo is the more tired of the two men currently, but the altitude he trains at will come into play.

Pat Curran vs. Daniel Straus

Round One: Big head kick attempts from Curran right off the bat, Straus shoots and get the first take down of the fight. Hopefully for everyone involved we are not subjected to five rounds of this. As I say this, they stand. Both men feeling each other out to start. Straus gaining confidence, comes inside on Straus and lands a nice three punch combination. The ref stopped the bout for a second, as he did so, Tito entered the building to "Fuck you Tito" chants.

After the restart, Straus throws another big leg kick and scores a take down. Interesting first round as I think the last action between the two gave the round edge to Straus. Curran is showing a little wear on his face.

(10-9) Straus

Round Two: Good back and forth start to the second round. Curran lands a nice knee, Curran comes back with a flying knee of his own. Very evenly matched, and I do not see how. Curran is not doing enough. He just took a shot that knocked him off of his feet. They come inside and both land strikes from inside the clinch. Curran comes inside with a kick, eats a punch, both men rotating combinations. Now Straus blocks a head kick, then eats two hook shots, pushes Curran against fence to slow momentum and both come back towards center. Front kick attempt from Curran, miss.

(10-9) Curran

Straus shoots hard for a take down but runs out of room and ends up pushing Curran against cage. Straus is content pushing against the cage currently. Curran explodes and does his version of pushing against the cage. They split, crazy moment where Curran lands a blatant knee to the head of Straus who drops to the floor. Curran knows what he did immediately and backs away. Ref Jason Herzog takes a point from Curran.

Straus immediately gets the take down to start off the final two minutes of the third. Folks this very well could be the way Straus wins this title. Grinding it out. He is still on top as the round concludes. Uh-oh, Curran needs to dig deep in championship rounds.

(10-8) Straus

Round Four: Curran comes out looking like Diego Sanchez for three seconds, then gets taken down. He gets up to his feet slowly then is slammed down by Straus again. With two minutes remaining Straus is grinding Curran down, very similar to another Bellator wrestler we all are familiar with. If this round goes to Straus too (which it currently is) the fight on the cards will be for Straus. Curran goes for a guillotine attempt, he has it locked in somewhat, tense moments for Straus' camp, but he gets out. He now lands some nice elbows to Curran's head. This is ANOTHER round for Straus.

(10-9) Straus

Round Five: Well folks this is it. Curran has to finish or he will lose the strap. Straus is still throwing punches, not sitting back taking punishment. Curran does not look like a man who is desperate to keep his title, he is either gassed, or something. Now Straus pouring it on, throwing punches, timing his knees and landing big body shots with his legs. He almost put Curran away right there, but the champion held on. Two minutes left and Curran is pressing against the cage, content with the result at this point. Now Curran flips the script and presses against the cage. Him finishing the fight like this is impossible. Strauss says "F that" finishes strong with a take down. He will be the new champ.

(10-9) Straus

I have Straus on 4/5.

Final Result: Daniel Straus wins via unanimous decision (49-45) and (48-46 X 2)

Joe Riggs vs. Mike Bronzoulis

Round One: Riggs has tagged Bronzoulis a couple times early, making him tentative to engage. Riggs looks to be in great shape and is just stalking Bronzoulis. Riggs got caught in the clinch and ate a knee, he punched his way out of it and rocked Bronzoulis with a punch. He hesitated then came in again, throwing two huge punches that Bronzoulis blocked with his arms. Riggs caught a kick attempt, and completed the first take down of the fight. Bronzoulis is attempting to stand, Riggs has grabbed his back and is going for the guillotine choke. He has transitioned now and is raining knees to Bronzoulis' side. Bronzoulis stood up finally as the round came to a close.

(10-9) Riggs

Round Two: Riggs scores another take down to begin the second. They are up against the cage directly in front of press row, Riggs landed a big knee, now is using his weight to keep Bronzoulis contained. They separate -- Bronzoulis lands a punch, Diesel immediately follows with his cage technique. Riggs is slowing down, bleeding from his left eye. He ate a huge kick right to the gut, that you could hear. He managed to score the take down with two minutes remaining in the round. Riggs is riding Bronzoulis in a bear hug, he suddenly went for a triangle choke, but Bronzoulis countered in ended up in top mount. He is too gassed at this point to manage anything offensive at this point.

(10-9) Riggs

Round Three: Round is plodding and slow, Riggs is in control on the canvas and is just holding on to Bronzoulis, keeping him close. This is successful when you are up two rounds to none. This one will be 30-27 in favor of Joe Riggs who definitely won the fight.

(10-9) Riggs

Final Result: Joe Riggs wins via unanimous decision (30-27 X 3)

Mike Richman vs. Akop Stepanyan

Round One: Richman coming in with leg kicks early, Akop retaliates with some stiff punches, he is getting inside quickly, then getting out of there. Richman is stalking, but Stepanyan is circling nicely off of Richman's right. Spinning back kick attempt from Stepanyan is blocked, three minutes left in round.

Mouse underneath the left eye of Stepanyan, this round is close guys. Richman definitely is the aggressor but Stepanyan counters effectively. Huge left and rights from Stepanyan miss. Richman lands a big combination, this wobbles Stepanyan for a second. He then GOES OFF WITH A CRAZY FLURRY ON RICHMAN, RICHMAN WEATHERS STORM, THEN DROPS STEPANYAN WITH A HUGE RIGHT. He follows with a double hammer fist for good measure.

Final Result: Mike Richman wins via TKO (punches) at 4:05 of first round
