Eddie Alvarez (12-1) just defeated Ross Ebanez last Friday and is already booked for EliteXC's fight card on April 26th. He will do battle against BJ Penn trainee Mike Aina (8-6-1).
If Alvarez can beat Aina he should be in line for a shot at KJ Noons for the welterweight title. Unfortunately for Alvarez, Aina is not the fighter his record speaks of.
Every single one of Mike Aina's losses was a result of a decision, and they weren't to cab drivers either. He lost a split decision to IFL Lightweight Champion, Ryan Schultz, a decision loss to top UFC contender, Roger Huerta, and most recently a controversial split decision loss to Nick Diaz at EliteXC: “Uprising” back in December. Many believed Aina won the brutal three round war against Diaz.
Aina has gained a ton of confidence and has a great shot against Alvarez.
