Alvarez became a free agent after losing to Dustin Poirier this past July. He went a pedestrian 4-3 (1 NC) during his four year UFC run, but did win the lightweight championship from Rafael dos Anjos in July 2016, before losing it that November to Conor McGregor. In addition to the UFC belt, he was also a champion in Bellator (twice), BodogFIGHT, and Reality Fighting. He previously competed in Asia in 2008 for Japan’s Dream promotion.
