Rumor: Eddie Alvarez out of Bellator's PPV

Via Greg Savage:

Hearing @Ealvarezfight might be out of his bout with @MikeChandlerMMA Word is Will Brooks may be the late replacement. Rough luck.

EDIT: Sherdog has pulled their story on this and Savage has removed the tweet; Bjorn says it is still going down.

Sucky thing is that alvarez will be stuck in bellator for longer Phone Post 3.0

@Jason_Floyd: Here is what we know: Bjorn Rebney denied the Eddie Alvarez rumor during post fight scrum per @MMAdamMartin. Sherdog posted a story,

...but the story is no longer on their site. As of right now, all signs point to the fight still being on. Stay tuned for updates Phone Post 3.0

It did seem really odd back in April when they announced Will Brooks would be on the PPV against some no name dude.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

So what you're stating this is all just smoke and mirrors created by Bellator/Viacom in order to drive up interest in the final week? You clever bastard. Phone Post 3.0

That could have just been insurance. I mean let's face it, there's always a chance someone could get injured. Makes sense to have a replacement lined up. I seriously doubt they would go through the trouble promoting this if they knew all along. Phone Post 3.0

The number of "injuries" that happen on Bellator cards that allow Bjorn to switch things up are too frequent for anything to be a coincidence at this point.
