Canada
Canada (
/ˈkænədə/) is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9,900,000 km2 (3,800,000 sq mi), Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world.
The land that is now Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonial expeditions explored, and later settled, along the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy; the Canada Act 1982 severed the vestiges of legal dependence on Britain.

Kahnawake
The Kahnawake Mohawk Territory (pronounced [ɡahnaˈwaːɡe] in Mohawk, Kahnawáˀkye in Tuscarora) is a reserve of the traditionally Iroquoian-speaking Mohawk nation on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada, across from Montreal. Recorded by French Canadians in 1719 as a Jesuit mission, it has also been known as Seigneury Sault du St. Louis, Caughnawaga and 17 European spelling variations of the Mohawk Kahnawake.
Kahnawake's territory totals an area of 48.05 square kilometres. Its resident population numbers about 8,000, with a significant number living off the territory. Its land base today is unevenly distributed due to federal Indian Act law that oversees individual land possession, unlike the Canadian norms that apply to the land around it. Kahnawake residents originally spoke their Mohawk language, and some learned French when under French rule. Allied with the British government during the American Revolutionary War and the Lower Canada Rebellion, they have since become mostly English speaking.

London
London
i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is the world's leading financial centre alongside New York City and has the fifth-largest city GDP in the world (and the largest in Europe). London has been described as a world cultural capital. It was the world's most visited city during 2011 and London Heathrow is the world's busiest airport by number of international passengers. London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe. In 2012 London will become the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.

Philippines
The Philippines
i/ˈfɪlɨpiːnz/ FI-lə-peenz (Filipino: Pilipinas [ˌpɪlɪˈpinɐs]), officially known as the Republic of the Philippines (Filipino: Republika ng Pilipinas) is a sovereign country in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean. To its north across the Luzon Strait lies Taiwan. West across the South China Sea sits Vietnam. The Sulu Sea to the southwest lies between the country and the island of Borneo, and to the south the Celebes Sea separates it from other islands of Indonesia. It is bounded on the east by the Philippine Sea. Its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and its tropical climate make the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons but have also endowed the country with natural resources and made it one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world. An archipelago comprising 7,107 islands, the Philippines is categorized broadly into three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila.
With an estimated population of about 98 million people, the Philippines is the 7th most populated Asian country and the 12th most populated country in the world. An additional 12.5 million Filipinos live overseas. Multiple ethnicities and cultures are found throughout the islands. In prehistoric times, Negritos were some of the archipelago's earliest inhabitants. They were followed by successive waves of Austronesian peoples who brought with them influences from Malay, Hindu, and Islamic societies. Trade introduced Chinese cultural influences which remain to this day.

Quebec
Coordinates: 53°45′N 071°59′W / 53.75°N 71.983°W / 53.75; -71.983 (Quebec)
Quebec /kwəˈbɛk/ or /kəˈbɛk/ (French: Québec [kebɛk] (
listen)) is a province in east-central Canada. It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level.
Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay, to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick. It is bordered on the south by the US states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.
Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples.

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.
The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are three devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies. The United Kingdom has fourteen overseas territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.

Calvin Ayre
Calvin Ayre (born May 25, 1961 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, Canada) is the founder of the Bodog online gaming and entertainment brand, which he developed and launched in 1994. Ayre received a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc) in General Sciences from the University of Waterloo in 1984. In 1989, Ayre earned an MBA in Management Finance from City University in Seattle, Washington.
In 1994, Ayre sold everything he owned and with $10,000 to his name he assembled his team and launched the original Bodog. Originally conceived of as a software development company, Ayre's vision for "Bodog" rapidly evolved into an online gaming website, and then to a global brand licensing enterprise that would see the brand spanning a number of non-gaming entertainment sectors.
As the face of the Bodog brand, Ayre’s notoriety skyrocketed in the mid-2000s as online gaming’s popularity surged. Ayre’s public profile went mainstream when he was featured as the cover story for Forbes Magazine's 2006 annual “Billionaires” edition., leading to being featured in People Magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor” list a few months later, and Star Magazine’s "Most Eligible Billionaire Bachelors” list in late 2007.

Calvin Ayre Indicted, Bodog.com Domain Name Seized: Sportsbook Industry News Special Report
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 4:11
- Updated: 01 Oct 2012
www.sportsbookreview.com Calvin Ayre, the founder of international internet gaming company Bodog, and a long-time target of the US government, was recently indicted once again by the US government, along with 3 others, on illegal gambling and money laundering charges. The web domain Bodog.com was also seized. But this likely won't have much of a real effect anywhere, and is likely just another in a long line of "bully" tactics meant to scare international operators and US players. No bank accounts or funds were seized, and the website Bodog.com itself had not been operational for a while at the time of the seizure. SportsBookReview reporter Peter Loshak summarized what happened over the past few days, and includes some quotes from Calvin Ayre himself on the matter. Please leave your comments below; we greatly appreciate your opinions! Players in need of sportsbook assistance are asked to fill out a sportsbook complaint form. www.sportsbookreview.com Alternatively, players may reach SBR by writing to help@sportsbookreview.com.

But this likely won't have much of a real effect anywhere, and is likely just another in a long line of "bully" tactics meant to scare international operators and US players. No bank accounts or funds were seized, and the website Bodog.com itself had not been operational for a while at the time of the seizure. SportsBookReview reporter Peter Loshak summarized what happened over the past few days, and includes some quotes from Calvin Ayre himself on the matter.

Bodog is an online entertainment brand launched in 1994 by Calvin Ayre.
Originally the company traded at (www.bodog.com) but the brand was later divested and intellectual property rights were assigned to and consolidated in BodogBrand.com.[citation needed] The trademark and brand has been subsequently licensed to a series of organizations worldwide.

Business Model[link]
BodogBrand.com is an intellectual property licensing enterprise, licensing the rights to other Bodog entities. Bodog was founded by Calvin Ayre and he has described the BodogBrand.com licensing model as “not unlike the Virgin-branded venture capital organization founded by Richard Branson”.[1][dead link]
The Bodog brand is largely focused on the online gambling industry, notwithstanding attempts to license the brand into the television, music and event production spaces, which have been largely unsuccessful.[citation needed] In an effort to promote the Bodog brand further, Bodog Europe's CEO, Patrik Selin, signed a deal with English Premier League side West Bromwich Albion, to become new official club sponsor for the next two seasons, from July 1, 2011.WBA Sponsorship
Brand Licensees[link]
Haydock Sports / Bodog Asia[link]
In March, 2009 BodogBrand.com announced the finalization of an exclusive Asian brand license for online gaming with Haydock Sports. Haydock Sports had been operating in Asia since 2006 under the authority of an Interactive Gaming License issued by First Cagayan pursuant the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Haydock subsequently rebranded its online gaming website www.9play.com to www.bodog88.com, offering sportsbook and casino products in numerous languages to the Asian market.[citation needed]
Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (2006 - 2011)[link]
The Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) is a private online gambling company that formerly operated the Bodog-branded website www.bodog.eu. The Bodog brand was licensed by BodogBrand.com to the MMGG after the original Bodog gaming organization withdrew from the United States market following the passsage of the SAFE Port Act in 2006.[2] According to a 2009 interview with CEO Alwyn Morris, following the passage of anti-online gambling legislation by the U.S. Congress in 2006, the original, Antigua-based Bodog gaming enterprise resolved to withdraw from the U.S. market. The MMGG then approached BodogBrand.com and negotiated an exclusive license to use the brand for the purposes of marketing the MMGG's online gaming services within that region. A private company, the MMGG is headquartered in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake in Quebec, Canada – part of the seven communities that make up the Mohawk Nation. The MMGG operates pursuant to a remote gaming license issued by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and is authorized by that license to offer gaming services worldwide.[citation needed]
MMGG originally operated from the domain name Bodog.com; however, on May 23, 2011 the group announced its intention to allow its license agreement with BodogBrand.com for the Bodog.com domain to expire and that it had migrated its services to www.Bodog.eu.[citation needed] Industry media speculated that the transition to the new domain was a preemptive decision in the face of a round of domain name seizures by the US Department of Justice in early 2011.[3]
In July, 2011, Bodog Brand issued a press release announcing that the brand license arrangement with the MMGG would be terminated effective December 31, 2011.[4] On December 14, 2011, the MMGG announced that it would no longer operate any Bodog-branded websites and transitioned all customers to its new site.[5][6]
The MMGG continues to operate, under the address www.bovada.lv, pursuant to a remote gaming license issued by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and is authorized by that license to offer gaming services worldwide.[citation needed]
Bodog Fight[link]
Bodog Fight was a mixed martial arts and event production enterprise. The brand was licensed to a Canadian events production licensee in 2006, which produced a television series of the same name, which aired on The Score Television Network, Ion Television, and The Fight Network. Each episode followed two fighters in their training and ended with a bout between the two fighters. Bodog Fight also produced pay-per-view events which featured top-ranked fighters including Fedor Emelianenko, Aleksander Emelianenko and Matt Lindland. Bodog Fight ceased operations in 2008 .[1][dead link]
Bodog Poker Network[link]
In September 2009, BodogBrand.com announced a fourth online gaming brand license arrangement with Patrik Selin, former CEO of the Ongame Poker Network. Selin indicates that he has acquired the source code to the proprietary poker product and commitments from Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, Bodog Europe and Haydock to join the Bodog Network and provide a liquidity base upon the launch of the network.[7]
The Bodog Poker Network has changed its business model to attract losing players and dispel winning players in order to generate more profit from rake.[8]
On May 14, 2011, Bodog Poker signed Tatjana Pašalić, European poker player and commentator, to become a member of "Team Bodog".[9]
At the time of his victory, 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Jamie Gold was also a member of Team Bodog, but that business relationship ended on January 25, 2007.[10] Team Bodog poker player Matt McCullough finished third at the 2007 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event taking home £381,910 ($766,674 US).[11]
Bodog Coffee[link]
In 2011, BodogBrand.com announced a brand license agreement with Bodog Coffee, a food and beverage start-up that owns the national distribution rights to Illy coffee and coffee technology in the Philippines.[citation needed]
The Bodog Coffee venture had been discussed by BodogBrand.com founder Calvin Ayre two years previously during an interview with eGaming Review Magazine, during which Ayre indicated that the coffee venture could be a Starbucks-like model combining Bodog-branded kiosks and shop fronts and a Bodog-branded coffee line.[12]
BUK Ltd. / Bodog UK[link]
In July, 2011, BodogBrand.com announced that its latest brand licensee - Bodog UK - had been granted Remote and Non-Remote Gaming Licenses from the UK Gambling Commission Bodog UK's brand license is reported to be limited to the United Kingdom and its online gambling website www.bodog.co.uk will be restricted to UK residents. Bodog UK is led by Bodog Europe CEO Patrik Selin.[13]
Seizure of Bodog.com Website[link]
The website Bodog.com was seized on February 26, 2012, and its founder Calvin Ayre was among those indicted on February 27, 2012 by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency on grounds of illegal gambling and money laundering.[14][15] Using the Illegal Gambling Business Act and Maryland's criminal code to satisfy the requirement for the indictment and seizure.[16]

Calvin Ayre
Calvin Ayre (born May 25, 1961 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, Canada) is the founder of the Bodog online gaming and entertainment brand, which he developed and launched in 1994. Ayre received a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc) in General Sciences from the University of Waterloo in 1984. In 1989, Ayre earned an MBA in Management Finance from City University in Seattle, Washington.
Contents |
Association With Bodog[link]
In 1994, Ayre sold everything he owned and with $10,000 to his name he assembled his team and launched the original Bodog. Originally conceived of as a software development company, Ayre's vision for "Bodog" rapidly evolved into an online gaming website, and then to a global brand licensing enterprise that would see the brand spanning a number of non-gaming entertainment sectors.
As the face of the Bodog brand, Ayre’s notoriety skyrocketed in the mid-2000s as online gaming’s popularity surged. Ayre’s public profile went mainstream when he was featured as the cover story for Forbes Magazine's 2006 annual “Billionaires” edition.,[1] leading to being featured in People Magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor” list a few months later,[2] and Star Magazine’s "Most Eligible Billionaire Bachelors” list in late 2007.[3]
In a 2009 interview[4] Ayre stated that, following the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006, the organization that he led and that had been accepting customers from the United States withdrew from that market, instead licensing the brand to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, which then operated its own online gaming website servicing the US under the Bodog brand until December, 2011. On December 14, 2011 the MMGG announced that it would no longer operate any Bodog-branded websites and transitioned all customers to its new site.[5][6]
After undertaking what Ayre describes as “transitional media relations” following the brand license arrangement, Ayre announced his retirement in April 2008,[7] indicating that he intended to devote his time to The Calvin Ayre Foundation.
On February 28, 2012, Ayre was indicted by the US Attorney in Baltimore, Maryland for activities relating to Bodog. The indictment focuses on the movement of funds from accounts outside the U.S., in Switzerland, England, Malta, and Canada, and the hiring of media resellers and advertisers to promote Internet gambling. CalvinAyre.com head reporter and Bodog spokeswoman Rebecca Liggero has called the indictment baseless and said it is business as usual for Bodog customers.[8]
BodogBrand.com and CalvinAyre.com[link]
Ayre retains an interest in the brand licensing organization BodogBrand.com, which owns and licenses the Bodog brand to various "brand licensees" in the entertainment sector.
In November, 2009, Ayre launched CalvinAyre.com, a "tabloid blog" or "tablog" targeted at the online gaming industry.
Ayre was interviewed extensively regarding his role as founder of the Bodog brand and his views on online sportsbetting in a feature article in the January 2011 edition of Playboy entitled “Welcome to the No Fun League – The NFL vs. Gambling” by Matthew Kredell.[9]
Kredell drew a distinction between Ayre’s strategies when the brand was founded and those of the brand’s competition, noting that “Bodog” was positioned as “…a lifestyle, a brand that had personality and sold gambling as entertainment. [Ayre] made himself the public image of the company, modeling his strategy after those of Richard Branson, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Hugh Hefner, Paris Hilton and Donald Trump.”
Calvin Ayre Foundation[link]
Founded in 2005, the Calvin Ayre Foundation, which is administered from London,[10] is a private and independent foundation with a charter to do charitable work worldwide. With Ayre as Chairman, the Foundation has pledged millions of dollars and hundreds of hours in support of individuals, communities and charitable organizations throughout the world. Included among those charities are the Fisher House Foundation, the LA Lakers Youth Foundation, the Humane Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Animal Avengers Organization, and the Sean McCauley Hope Foundation for Pediatric Cancer.
In 2007 the Calvin Ayre Foundation announced a program with the World Society for the Protection of Animals to combat the practice of farming Asian bears for their bile for the Traditional Chinese Medicine market.[11]
The Calvin Ayre Foundation’s own initiatives include the Sponsor a School Project, which provides students living in underdeveloped nations opportunities for a quality education, and the Sponsor a Family Project, which provides financial support for the immediate families of sponsored students.

Biography[link]
Personal life[link]
Bif Naked was born in New Delhi to teenaged parents attending private school.[1] She was subsequently adopted by American missionaries.[2] She spent part of her childhood in Lexington, Kentucky, where her father was a professor at the University of Kentucky. She went to Kelsey Elementary School in The Pas, Manitoba for a couple of years. After living for a time in Dauphin, Manitoba, her family eventually settled in Winnipeg.[3][4] She graduated from John Taylor Collegiate and studied theatre at the University of Winnipeg.
A noted poet, she has also released a spoken word album called Okenspay Ordway: Things I Forgot To Tell Mommy. She is heavily tattooed, getting her first, an Egyptian Eye of Horus, when she was 16. Her tattoos include a symbol of the Tao, Japanese writing, Buddhist poetry and images (such as the Bodhisattva), and Hindu imagery; she has stated on MTV that her favorite tattoo, on her left arm, reads "Survivor." She also has X's tattooed on her hands, which represent the X's drawn on the hands of minors in bars to prevent them from ordering drinks. Bif identifies as straight-edge. [5][6] She is also a comic cartoonist.
The name Bif started as a nickname based on the mispronunciation of her real name, Beth.[7] Bif has always been frank about her bisexuality,[3] and the lyrics of her autobiographical songs (such as 1995's "Everything") detail her attractions to and relationships with women. She is also a strict raw food vegan for health (as opposed to ethical or religious) reasons.
She was diagnosed with a heart aneurysm, but corrective surgery was ruled out. Her song "Everyday," from her album Superbeautifulmonster, is in part a response to that experience.
Bif's first marriage was to her drummer. Shortly afterward, she became pregnant, and later had an abortion. The song "Chotee" refers to this experience.
Her song "Moment of Weakness" was about a man she vacationed with in Mexico.[8]
Bif married Vancouver Sun sports writer Ian Walker in a traditional church ceremony in Vancouver on September 29, 2007.[9] In January 2008, she announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and underwent a lumpectomy and chemotherapy.[10] Bif Naked blogs on her website about politics, her personal life, and dealing with cancer.
Music career[link]
Prior to her solo career, Torbert played with punk bands Gorilla Gorilla and Chrome Dog. She has toured Europe, the United States, and Canada as a headlining act, and has performed on bills with Snoop Dogg, Billy Idol, Dido, Devin Townsend, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Chrissie Hynde, the Foo Fighters, the Cult and many more. She recorded a version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" for the MTV: TRL Christmas CD. She was also featured on the Ready to Rumble soundtrack with a cover of Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It", the Celebrity Deathmatch soundtrack with "Vampire", and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's soundtrack with "Lucky". The song "Lucky" was also featured in the 13th episode of the only season of Moonlight, an episode titled "Fated To Pretend" and in the 16th episode of the 2nd season of Charmed - "Murphy's Luck". The song "Dawn" off of Purge was featured in the movie American Psycho 2, starring Mila Kunis and William Shatner. She made a guest appearance in the song "Fucker", on Strapping Young Lad's album The New Black in 2006. Bif Naked also sang back-up vocals to Kay Handley on the original movie soundtrack "Josie and the Pussycats" in 2001 as the singing vocals of Rosario Dawsons charecter Val.
Bif Naked has also made guest appearances with artists such as SNFU on the songs "One Last Loveshove" and "You Make Me Thick". She also appeared on the Dead Celebrity Status album Blood Music on the track titled "In This Day And Age".
Solo albums include Bif Naked, a self-titled album, Purge, and I Bificus. In 2005, after narrowing it down from over 50 songs, she released Superbeautifulmonster with 13 tracks. The Promise was released in 2009 and was dedicated to her fans. Sick, Bluejay, You'll Never Know were mixed by Juno Award winner Mike Fraser. Bif recorded the album during her chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. Bif is currently working on writing a book and has an acoustic side project album on the way.
She has made appearances in music videos for The Offspring's "The Kids Aren't Alright", Moist's "Believe Me" and "Silver", Liveonrelease's "Get with it" and Simple Plan's "Save You" near the end along with other people (such as Sharon Osborne and René Angélil) who have been treated for cancer. In 2011, she recorded a duet with Vancouver yogi and Nettwerk recording artist Will Blunderfield for the international version of his album Hallelujah.

Biography[link]
Of Puerto Rican and Irish descent,[3][4] Alvarez was born and raised in Kensington, Philadelphia, a rough neighborhood with a reputation for violent crimes and an abundance of street narcotics.[5]
Known in MMA for his boxing prowess, Alvarez was a wrestler at Northeast Catholic High School.[5] He was a two-time National Prep All-American, and placed 6th in both 2000 and 2001 at the National Prep School Wrestling Championships in the 145 lb weight class.[6] After high school, Alvarez immediately pursued a professional career in MMA with his first fight coming after only eight months of formal training.
Alvarez utilized the financial success to move his family out of Kensington and into Northeast Philadelphia following the birth of his first son, Eddie Jr.[7]
Alvarez made two appearances on the television show Bully Beatdown on MTV, where he knocked out both of his opponents.[8]
Alvarez in December 2010, opened up the first ever MMA store in Philadelphia, PA. The name of the store is, "The Red Corner" and was located in the Fishtown area of Philadelphia, and has since shut its doors.
Mixed martial arts career[link]
Alvarez won the MFC welterweight title in his seventh pro fight in June 2006 when he defeated Derrick Noble via KO at just 1:01 of the first round. The MFC welterweight title would later be re-branded the BodogFIGHT welterweight title.[5]
In spite of the fact that many insiders didn't view 170 pounds to be Alvarez's best competitive fighting weight, he continued to fight larger opponents because he relished the challenge of testing his mettle against bigger fighters.[9] At Bodog Fight's "Clash of the Nations" pay per view in Russia on April 14, 2007, Alvarez's size disadvantage would be exposed, as he suffered his first career loss when he was TKO'd by UFC veteran Nick Thompson at 4:32 into round 2.
After deciding to leave Bodog, Alvarez quickly found a new home in EliteXC where he competed in their 160 pound division against Ross Ebanez, winning by TKO.[10]
A few weeks prior to the first event, it was announced that the upstart Japanese promotion DREAM, started by the minds behind PRIDE FC and K-1 had signed Alvarez to compete in their 154 pound grand prix.
His initial fight was against Andre Amade, another potent striker, hailing from the notorious Chute Boxe Academy. During the fight, Alvarez was dropped by a strong right hand, but was able to recover and use his superior wrestling skills to score a TKO due to strikes from mount late in the first round.[11]
Alvarez advanced to the second round of the tournament where he defeated top ranked lightweight fighter Joachim Hansen on May 11, 2008 by unanimous decision in an exciting fight. Hansen, who was known for his ability to take a punch, was dropped twice in the fight and dazed numerous other times by Alvarez's strikes.[12]
In his fight at DREAM.5, Alvarez knocked out top ranked lightweight fighter Tatsuya Kawajiri in the tournament's semi-finals. The fight was awarded Fight of the Year by Sherdog for 2008. However, he was unable to advance in the tournament due to a cut and severe swelling under his right eye. Alvarez's replacement was Joachim Hansen, whom he defeated two months earlier. Hansen went on to win the tournament and capture the DREAM lightweight title.
Alvarez was scheduled to face UFC and PRIDE veteran Nick Diaz for the EliteXC 160 pound title on November 8, 2008.[13] but that fight was scrapped when EliteXC's parent ProElite closed its doors and filed for bankruptcy. On New Year's Eve 2008 Alvarez fought against Shinya Aoki at K-1 Dynamite!! 2008, losing by submission in the first round. He has since been signed to an exclusive contract with Bellator Fighting Championships.[14]
Bellator Fighting Championships[link]
Alvarez entered Bellator's lightweight tournament at Bellator's inaugural event on April 3, 2009. He fought against Greg Loughran, who landed a left hook which caused Alvarez to buckle his legs. Alvarez survived, however, and submitted Loughran with a guillotine choke.[15] His next fight at the tournament's semi-finals took place four weeks later at Bellator 5, against Eric Reynolds. After controlling the bout for two rounds, Alvarez used a rear naked choke to submit Reynolds in the third.[16]
Alvarez advanced to the lightweight tournament's finals, which took place at Bellator 12 on June 19, 2009. He fought and defeated Toby Imada, via a rear naked choke submission early in the second round, to become Bellator's first ever lightweight champion.[17]
Alvarez faced Josh Neer in a non-title "Super fight" on May 6, 2010 at Bellator 17 in which he showed great wrestling and standup to go on to defeat Neer by way of rear-naked choke at 2:08 of round 2 as the choke was so well sunk in Neer would pass out from hypoxemia.[18]
Alvarez was supposed to fight the Season 2 Lightweight Tournament Winner Pat Curran in a defense of his title, but his opponent was pulled from the card due to an injury in his right shoulder. He instead faced Roger Huerta at Bellator 33 held in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[19] He won the fight via TKO (doctor stoppage) between the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Alvarez has publicly stated he wants his next fight to be against current Strikeforce Lightweight Champion, Gilbert Melendez.
Alvarez defeated Pat Curran on April 2, 2011 via unanimous decision (49-46, 50-45, 50-45) to retain the Bellator Lightweight Championship at Bellator 39.[20]
Alvarez faced Michael Chandler on November 19, 2011 at Bellator 58 in what was called by many publications as the '2011 Fight of the Year'.[21] He was defeated by Chandler by rear naked choke in the fourth round. Chandler came in very aggressive in the first round, nearly finishing Alvarez. In the third round, Alvarez landed many shots,one in particular stunning Chandler. The last round, Chandler caught Alvarez with a right hand and got on top before taking Alvarez's back and locking in the choke forcing the tap.
Alvarez faced Shinya Aoki in a rematch at Bellator 66.[22] He won the fight via TKO in the first round after dropping Aoki and finishing him with ground and pound.
