The UFC have matching clauses written into their contracts too. It's just unlikely that a fighter would want to leave them unless & the UFC wanted to keep them.
Also, Bellator have every right to try to keep Alvarez.

As Spud said, UFC has matching provisions and has your exclusive rights. Also, they have your likeness which made Jon Fitch pissed off awhile back as fighters weren't compensated for the video game.
Reason nobody wants to leave the UFC is that they do pay the best, give yourself and your fight team good accommodations, give bonuses that we never hear about and you can use the "UFC veteran" status to get paid better if you do find yourself back on the regional scene.

Sorry I should of reworded what I said a little better I do agree with everything the both of use have said but from watching mma myself i've never heard of the UFC releasing a fighter then using its right to match or am I wrong ?
Bellator do have every right to keep Alverez but saying he will get a cut of the PPV and that it will match the UFC is just stupid, but in court you can't talk future, only present
