Eddie Alvarez Has a Dentist Appointment in May, Lightweight Champ to Fight Josh Neer in First Bellator Superfight

Bellator Fighting Championships announced their first Super Fight will be a catchweight bout at 160 pounds between Bellator Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez and former UFC fighter Josh "The Dentist" Neer. The fight will be held at a Bellator event sometime in May 2010, with the exact date to be announced later.

Eddie Alvarez (19-2) is coming off a submission win over Katsunori Kikuno in Japan at DREAM 12 in October 2009. This was Alvarez's fourth fight in the 2009 calendar year, with his previous three being in the Bellator Lightweight Tournament. Alvarez defeated Greg Loughran, Eric Reynolds and Toby Imada in 2009 to become the inaugural Bellator Lightweight Champion. Alvarez is currently ranked #3 in the Madman Lightweight Top 10 Rankings.

Josh Neer (26-9) is coming off back-to-back wins in smaller fight promotions, after losing back-to-back fights in the UFC. Neer went 2-3 in his most recent UFC stint, submitting Mac Danzig and winning a decision over Din Thomas, but losing decisions to Gleison Tibau, Kurt Pellegrino and Nate Diaz.

This Bellator Superfight will be a non-title affair. Eddie Alvarez will next defend his Bellator Lightweight Champion later this year against the winner of the upcoming 2010 Bellator Lightweight Tournament. Alvarez is pictured below mid-flight, doing his trademark backflip off the cage after a victory.

VIDEO: Elvis Sinosic vs Chris Haseman Fight from 1997 with Chin to the Eye Finish - Rematch Set for UFC 110 in Australia

The UFC 110: NOGUEIRA VS. VELASQUEZ undercard will feature a rematch of Aussies nearly 13 years in the making. UFC 110 will be held Saturday February 20, 2010 at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. In a fight booked for its local flavor over its relevance, Australian UFC veterans Elvis "The King of Rock n Rumble" Sinosic (8-11) and Chris "The Hammer" Haseman (20-16) will fight in a preliminary bout. Sinosic is 1-6 in the UFC, while Haseman is 0-1.

On March 22, 1997, CAGED COMBAT 1: AUSTRALIAN ULTIMATE FIGHTING was held in Sydney, Australia. The event featured a one-night, eight-man MMA tournament ala the old school UFC events. Elvis Sinosic made his MMA debut on that night, winning his opening round fight via TKO in 41 seconds. Chris Haseman, with only two previous fights under his belt, also won his opening round fight via the "dreaded chin to the eye" submission!

After winning their opening round fights, Elvis Sinosic and Chris Haseman then met in the tournament semi-finals. I won't spoil the fight outcome, so you can enjoy the excitement of the above grainy video with choppy, eardrum-piercing audio, but let me just say the finish involves someone's chin in someone's eye! The winner of this fight would go on to lose in the tournament finale to MMA legend Mario "Zen Machine" Sperry.

While this bizarre rematch isn't going to be producing a UFC light heavyweight contender, it should be a fun throwback fight for the Australian crowd. And one thing is for certain, if anyone tries to put their chin in anyone else's eye at UFC 110, we're going to get a disqualification finish rather than a submission now that we're in the modern era of MMA and the eyeballs are off-limits for submission moves.
