MMA Blaster Mailbag - Bellator versus Alvarez

If you have a question you would like answered, feel free to email us at mmablaster@gmail.com.

Kenosha Mat asks, "What do you think about Bellator suing Eddie Alvarez regarding the matching provisions in his Bellator contract?"

For over six months, Bellator and Eddie Alvarez have been litigating a contract dispute over the matching provisions in Eddie's most recent Bellator deal. I believe Bellator is fighting a losing battle as its offer is weak compared to the UFC's and simply isn't equal.

The UFC deal, with the PPV incentives, commentator spots, promotional fees and guaranteed money is far superior. The UFC will generate Eddie far more publicity, which leads to higher paying sponsorship opportunities. Nike pays a little more than Wornstar, no offense to Pat Curran.

Instead of paying thousands more in legal fees, Bjorn should cut his losses and look to settle the dispute. Bellator should be seeking the next Eddie Alvarez to fill the void. That guy would seem to be Michael Chandler, who defeated Alvarez in 2011.

Video of the Day - Page v. Tantawy

Here is rising prospect Michael Page fighting Haitham Tantawy at Super Fight League 7 which took place on 11/2/12 in Mumbai, India.

Page recently defeated Ryan Sanders at Bellator 93 and will likely enter an upcoming welterweight tournament pushing his record to 4-0. Standing 6'3" with a ridiculous reach, Page also posseses rare speed and power with his karate based stand-up style.

How will he do against top level grapplers? We don't really know yet, but we will find out shortly.

Video of the Day - Petruzelli v. Rutherford

Here is Seth Petruzelli v. Bernard Rutherford from 2/2/07 in UWC, Ultimate Warrior Challenge.

The Karate/Wrestling specialist Petruzelli utilizes an unorthodox style that keeps many off balance while standing. During his time on TUF 2, he beat Dan Christison by unanimous decision before losing to runner-up Brad Imes. His most memorable MMA moment was the toppling of Kimbo Slice's hype with a jab to the face KO.

Petruzelli (13-6) will next fight Carmello Marrero at Bellator 68.
