DREAM News: Eddie Alvarez vs. Andre Dida At Lightweight Grand Prix
By CagE | February 29, 2008
Eddie Alvarez has told FiveOuncesOfPain that he will take on Andre Dida at the upcoming first round of the DREAM lightweight Grand Prix on March 25 in Japan.
Alvarez is currently signed to a multi-fight contract with EliteXC.
“The fight is 100 percent,” began Alvarez. “I just got a call from my manager, Monte Cox, everything is underway. Everything is approved and I will be heading over there (Japan) on the 10th to fight in the lightweight Grand Prix. I’m excited.”
“Monte (Cox) talked it over with EliteXC and EliteXC was happy to work with DREAM,” Alvarez responded when asked if special permission was needed to compete in a tournament that could require Alvarez to fight on three separate DREAM shows. “I’m sure they want to do business with them in the future so I’m sure they are more than happy to lend me over and let me do the fight.”
