Alvarez reached out to Chandler about the fight

Eddie Alvarez, a former UFC lightweight champion, turned to Michael Chandler, offering to be his next opponent.

“Hey Michael, you won’t be without a potential opponent until then, as long as I breathe, buddy. Dana White and the UFC know the terms. Trilogy time," Alvarez wrote on his social media.

Chandler's next opponent was to be Conor McGregor, as both of them are coaches for the next season of TUF. However, the Irishman never returned to the USADA doping pool, so he will not be able to fight this year.
