Thiago Alves squares off with Zak Cummings at UFC St. Louis

A clash of welterweights has been added to the first ever UFC card in St. Louis, Missouri. As Combate reported, 12-year UFC veteran Thiago Alves will take on the Missouri State University alum, Zak Cummings.

Alves (22-11) has recently defeated former middleweight title challenger Patrick Cote by unanimous decision in April. The win snapped a two-fight losing skid to fellow veterans Jim Miller and Carlos Condit.

Cummings (21-5) will try and make it three wins in a row after two submission victories over the likes of Nathan Coy and Alexander Yakovlev.
