Cerrone-Alvarez possible for UFC 178

In for confirmation. Please let this be true!!!!! Phone Post 3.0

If this is fucking true I will...... well...... I will gladly watch it.

Seriously that would be fucking amazing

God damn this would be amazing. But I'm a little sad this won't be 5 rounds, this could be a FOX main event. Could easily be a #1 contender bout. Still, this PPV is ridiculous.

Holy shit, this card just keeps getting better!! Coker taking over Bellator is the best possible scenario for MMA fans. Man I hope this rumor is true. Phone Post 3.0

"I'm told, as of last night, alvarez is still contacted to bellator. There is, however, a push in the company to cut ties with him now."

"alvarez only has one fight left on his deal, so if he wins that fight he can walk away with the belt. Not ideal. …"

"So if the new regime parts ways now after over a year of drama, it sends the msg that they are fighter friendly and not like the old regime."

"No one in the UFC will comment on it on or off the record because he's still under contract and that's a no-no. However …"

"Sources told me last night if this leaks, bellator might delay the process. They are ready to part ways but unclear what they'll do now."

"coker has been here before. He washed his hands of Shields when he was SF champ. The plan at 1 time was to do same. Get ahead of the game."

the curse of mma will remain and injuries will occur, but I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THIS CARD!

Interesting move if Coker cuts ties with Eddie. They are only going to get one more fight out of him so it wouldn't be a big loss, I guess. Phone Post 3.0

Solly97 - Am I the only one that thinks it would be outright disrespectful to Bendo if this fight happens and the winner gets a title shot? Phone Post 3.0
It depends on what happens between Pettis vs. Gil. As long as Pettis is champ, it's going to take a big, big win streak for Bendo to get another title shot against him. Phone Post 3.0

interesting if true.
Not holding my breath though

What if the anonymous source was Bjorn, spreading disinformation to create tensions between Coker and Spike? Phone Post 3.0

While a great fight, LMAO @ Meltzer when he said this secret fight would add tons of buys to the PPV.  

HO LEE FUK if true That would be EPIC! And imo Cerrone should get a shot with a win like that and the streak he has been on.

Why are you so obsessed with ratings and shit these days? Did you get a job with Spikeforce? Phone Post 3.0

All I know is if this fight happens and Eddie wins, I want him to get the next title shot or fight Benson.

I fucking hope this happens. Bellator has no reason to keep Eddie around. They only risk him tainting their division by defeating their two best LWs. At least this way they can say Brooks never fought Alvarez. Phone Post 3.0

I totally agree. Cerrone is 0-1 against Pettis where Ben is 0-2 thats a lot harder to sell for Ben at this point.
