Alves Back to Training, ready for Fitch

thiago-alvesNot even a week ago, Thiago Alves underwent brain surgery, and now he’s booked to fight as Dana White confirmed that Alves and Jon Fitch will be matched up at UFC 115 in Vancouver.

The two were scheduled to face off at UFC 111 last week, when Alves was sidelined by a brain irregulation during a CAT Scan. Alves went into surgery, and was told by doctors he only needed two or three weeks to recover before he can start training again.

Alves and Fitch are considered the best welterweights in the UFC, and it is rumored that the winner of this fight could face Georges St. Pierre, however both men have already lost to the champ. Paul Daley and Josh Koscheck are also deciding factors in the mix of top fighters.

Alves and Fitch fought in June 2006, with Fitch winning via second-round TKO. After that, Alves (17-6) reeled off a seven-fight win streak, which ended when he lost a five-round decision to St. Pierre at UFC 100.

UFC 115 takes place on June 12.
