Alvarez last saw action in April last year, where he competed in two events in the same month. The American fought Iuri Lapicus at ONE on TNT I but received a red card for illegal strikes to the back of the Moldovian’s head. However, the result was later overturned to a no contest after it was found that a procedural misstep occurred.
Interestingly, Alvarez sought to fight once more just weeks later at ONE on TNT IV and was given a chance to go up against Ok Rae Yoon. After three grueling rounds, the South Korean emerged as the victor and used the win to propel himself to a world title opportunity against Christian Lee.
Meanwhile, Alvarez can be can be seen on Instagram spending time with his family during his time off. However, the American hinted that he’s working on something, which is rumored to be a return fight.

A third fight between Alvarez and former ONE lightweight world champion Shinya Aoki is something that fans are also interested to see.
Should 'The Underground King' decide to go down to featherweight, Martin Nguyen said he’s ready to welcome him to the division. Whoever he faces, Eddie Alvarez remains a fan-friendly fighter with an exciting style that never fails to disappoint.
