Eddie Alvarez Signs with EliteXC, Will Fight for M-1 Global, Then Cure Cancer

Former BodogFIGHT champ Eddie Alvarez - one of the most popular East Coast fighters ever - has recently signed with EliteXC, MMA Journalist has learned. Known for his charisma, extremely heavy hands and ability to raise the dead, the Philadelphia native will headline the January 25th ShoXC event at Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, squaring off against Hawaiian slugger Ross "Da Boss" Ebanez in a bout that is sure to please the legion of faithful who will no doubt pack the venue. Alvarez will also be fighting for M-1 Global at some future date, EliteXC's notoriously restrictive contracts notwithstanding, and then will either cure cancer or feed thousands with a few loaves of bread and some fish.
