oh boy , Hi Vince , this is Sammy
Following the fight, Alvey took to Instagram and wrote “Well s— … I swear i used to be good. I lost a step somewhere but my family got to see me fight live. I’m fine but my pride hurts right now. Love you guys. (Even the haters).”
You know when UFC is giving Sam Alvey another fight while on a seven fight losing streak, giving 3-10 Jessica Eye a spot on a PPV card and putting a 3-9 HW like Sherman on a Fight Night main card that things could be going a little better at “the Superbowl of MMA”.
This is why UFC singed Bo Nickal right away. UFC can’t let Bellator, PFL, ONE etc… get that guy before they do.
.
damn
His gimmick in wwe should be that he never ever wins comes close but always short .
Does it bother anyone else that the press thinks that they have the ability to shit on Alvey?
This guy has over 50 MMA fights and his career in the UFC is obviously over
The person writing this article calling him desperate would apologize on camera to his face if ever confronted
Yes Wes , He was good enough to make the bigs . The other side is an 8 Fight skid and its going to be publicized. This is the UG and people have opinions.
I have no problem with the average fan having an opinion
My issue is a reporter being disrespectful
Keep in mind, that at his last loss, some of the media got way out of line with their disrespect
Options - everyone has them
Intentional disrespect - you should probably have to back it up
HKP - am I being an over sensitive pussy about this it am I right?
No you are not wrong at all. You do know the flavor round these parts . I agree the reporter had no biz being disrespectful. If ( name any sport team ) Hits a long losing skid its going to make the news.
and it did
going to be “Slurrin’ Sam” Alvey before long
Is it really? He hasnt won his last 9 fights. Usually the UFC lets you go after 3 straight, sometimes 2. He’s been given an insane amount of chances that no other fighter has gotten.
We share a mutual friend and he is apparently a REALLY good guy. I hope if he keeps fighting he steps down a bit in competition.
Not only did Alvey (33-18-1 MMA, 10-13-1 UFC) break the record for longest winless streak in promotion history Saturday at UFC on ESPN 40, his quick TKO defeat to Michal Oleksiejczuk (17-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) resulted in a broken jaw.
Though physically hurting, Alvey seemed in good spirits when he revealed the injury on his TikTok account Sunday. Alvey said the injuring blow came on the first punch landed by Oleksiejczuk, who finished the bout with punches at
“I spent a lot of time last night thinking about this and I’ve finally accepted it myself,” Alvey said. “I hope y’all forgive me but I am not the greatest fighter to have ever lived. To tell you, it hurts saying out loud. Oh, goodness. I was convinced I could beat anybody at anytime. I guess not.
“I would still say there’s not a person on the planet that likes doing this sport more than me. Although at this current moment, I have a broken jaw from the first damn punch he hit me with. Son of a b*tch. I’m likely getting my mouth wired shut. I’ve got to tell you, I wouldn’t have picked a different career if I had the opportunity years ago.”
UFC on ESPN 40 wasn’t the first time Alvey broke his jaw. In 2015, Alvey was kicked in the face by Sean Strickland while training for a bout against Daniel Sarafian at UFC Fight Night 82. The blow shattered his jaw and resulted in six weeks of wiring. Alvey told MMA Junkie he lost approximately 30 pounds during that time due to liquid diet requirements.
The bout Saturday for Alvey marked the last on his UFC contract. Alvey told ESPN prior to the fight a loss would pocket him $96,000 total from show money and Venum pay. He also indicated he would continue fighting regardless of outcome, though Alvey has not said if that remains the case after he suffered his current injury.
