#5 Eddie Alvarez
The debut Bellator Lightweight hero, Eddie Alvarez is likely the best hybrid from Bellator to the UFC since the rise of the advancement in 2009. ‘The Underground King’ held Bellator’s title on two separate events and set up together a great 9-1 record there somewhere in the range of 2009 and 2013.
It took one serious part of work to get him into the UFC in any case – at first, he endeavored to move there in 2012, just for Bellator to as far as anyone knows coordinate the UFC’s agreement offer. It was a disputable move from Bellator that saw Alvarez endeavor to sue the advancement before going to a concurrence with them in 2013 to keep battling there.
Alvarez then recovered his title from Michael Chandler, the man who had deposed him two years earlier, however, was then sidelined with damage. When he returned, Bellator had another man in charge – Scott Coker – and he consented to discharge Alvarez from his agreement to seek after his UFC dream.
A debut misfortune to Donald Cerrone seemed to recommend Alvarez could turn into a bust, yet he ricocheted back with wins over Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis to set up a title shot against Rafael Dos Anjos – and along these lines thumped the Brazilian out to catch the UFC Lightweight title, turning into the main man to hold a UFC title in the wake of holding a title in Bellator.
Alvarez was then thumped out by Conor McGregor to lose his title and proceeded to have energizing battles with Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier before moving to ONE FC in late 2018. ‘The Underground King’ was a gigantic accomplishment in the UFC, however, and Bellator champions moving crosswise over would hope to pursue his model.
