While UFC 200 is stealing all the headlines for the full slate of fights for the upcoming International Fight Week festivities in Las Vegas, Nevada — and rightfully so — UFC Fight Night 90 has flown under the radar.
But don’t fret, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is doing right for the upcoming Fight Pass event, which is set to go down on Thursday July 7, 2016 and will feature a Lightweight title fight between Rafael dos Anjos and Eddie Alvarez by rolling out the full vide for ‘Battle Lines.’
The official description:
Get an intimate look at the lives of the two men training for their upcoming UFC lightweight title fight. Champion Rafael Dos Anjos isolates himself from his family by traveling to the busy metropolis of Singapore, studying Muay Thai from the best and teaching jiu-jitsu — the sport that helped him rediscover his passion for fighting. Meanwhile challenger Eddie Alvarez, having already captured championships in multiple other organizations, takes the opposite approach, living at home and training not far from the mean Philly streets that produced him.
The bout will mark “RDA’s” second attempt to defend his 155-pound title, while it will be Eddie’s first-ever shot to win UFC gold since making the jump over from Bellator MMA.
