Despite Eight-Bout Winless Streak, Sam Alvey Vows ‘I’m Not Done Fighting’
Sam Alvey is going to soldier onward with his mixed martial arts career, even if his time in the UFC has probably come to an end.
Alvey’s winless streak extended to eight on Saturday night, when he suffered a second-round submission defeat to short-notice opponent Brendan Allen in a featured light heavyweight affair at UFC Fight Night 200. “Smile’n” Sam hasn’t tasted victory since taking a split verdict over Gian Villante at UFC Fight Night 131 in June 2018, going 0-7-1 in the Las Vegas-based promotion after that triumph.
In a brief video released on his Instagram account, Alvey admitted that something has been amiss in recent fights, but he isn’t ready to call it a career just yet.
