The champion of Bellator in lightweight Eddie Alvares (25-3) answered the questions of journalists concerning his title revenge with Michael Chendler (12-1).
About a spirit on a duel with Chendler: "I allowed everything to take its course. I wished to Michael good luck before fight, I told Bjoern thanks before fight. I released each ounce of anger and hostility which in me were, simply refused them.
I stayed in excellent mood and really felt that now I will return myself a title of the world champion. And I felt that deserved it most on light because I trained very rigidly because I was stimulated to sell the house to get money, and to get over with the wife and children on other place.
We made a lot of things also much sacrificed. So if I got a victory not, I would be simply shocked. I made everything to deserve this title".
About plans for the future: "Now I want to prove everything that I am the best easily weight in a pattern. That is why I wanted to fight with Chendler: after I saw once that Chendler holds the third place in ratings, I ceased to consider our duel simply as a revenge and title fight. I understood that it is good opportunity to come nearer to the first line item in ratings".
About Bjoern Rebni's complaint with result of judges: "Yes, I heard that people discuss Rebni's gesture after result declaration: it shook the head. I don't know as far as this gesture is interpreted truly and whether really it meant that Bjoern is dissatisfied with result.
It didn't seem to me that it was baffled during our conversation after fight. Perhaps, it made it on emotions after that madness which we suited. I don't know that it was".
