Thanks to an injury from top contender and tournament winner Pat Curran,
Bellator Fighting Championships officials got the lightweight main
event they always hoped for: Eddie Alvarez vs. Roger Huerta.
The two explosive 155-pound sluggers did not disappoint.
In an action-heavy non-title affair, Eddie Alvarez proved once again why
he’s considered among the best lightweights in the world by dismantling
“El Matador” for 10 minutes in the main event of Thursday’s Bellator 33
event at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
