Michael Chandler: 'I think Eddie Alvarez beats Rafael dos Anjos' at UFC Fight Night 90

The Bellator lightweight champion thinks his former rival, Eddie Alvarez, will win the UFC lightweight title at UFC Fight Night 90 on Thursday night (July 7, 2016) when he takes on Rafael dos Anjos.

Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler and former lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez put on two of the greatest title fights in Bellator history. Their names and those battles are forever etched in the promotion's history.

Chandler finished Alvarez by rear-naked choke in their first encounter at Bellator 58 in 2011 to win the title, but lost the crown to Alvarez by split decision in an absolute classic at Bellator 106.
