In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Bellator Lightweight Champion, Eddie Alvarez revealed that he and Michael Chandler will be facing each other a third time this year and it will be on a Pay-Per-View card. In their clashes with each other Chandler and Alvarez are both 1-1 against each other and will settle the score in the final match of a trilogy. Chandler took the Bellator Lightweight title from Alvarez in their first meeting amd then Alvarez took it back in their second meeting.
It is very clear that Alvarez and Chandler are Bellator's most interesting draw for a PPV card and the best fight that they can make with their roster. Though I would be interested in the third clash I would much rather see another challenger step up against Alvarez and make Chandler earn a second title shot as Alvarez had to do. The fight is definitely an intriguing fight but I think that it is too soon. It is a good bout for 2015, but I don't think now is the time. It will be a fight that will answer many questions about which of the Bellator competitors is the real champion.
