Bellator Fighting Championships lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez
(19-2 MMA, 3-0 BFC) returns to action for the first time since an
October win under the DREAM banner when he meets 10-time UFC veteran
Josh Neer (27-9-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC) in May.

Bellator officials announced the new matchup today, though specifics on the date of the bout have to be released.

The contest is the first “Super Fight” announced by the organization.
Bellator plans on utilizing its first-season champions in
“non-tournament, non-title catchweight” fights as they wait for new
contenders to emerge from the season two tournaments.
