Alvarez (22-2) will face Chandler (8-0) in the main event of Bellator 58 on November 19th in Hollywood, FL -- a fight that was originally scheduled for this Saturday but was delayed to an Alvarez injury.
Chandler earned the title shot by winning Bellator's Season 4 lightweight tournament, beating Patricky Freire by unanimous decision in May. Alvarez last competed in April in the first defense of his gold, besting Pat Curran in a unanimous decision. He carries a seven-fight win streak into the event.
In the co-main event, Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard faces Trevor Prangley in a non-title fight announced last week. Jessica Aguilar vs. Lisa Ward and Marlon Sandro vs. Rafael Dias round out the main card.
