Derek Brunson NASHVILLE – Derek Brunson gave Sam Alvey no space to uncork a counter that might have made him No. 4 on a list of first-round knockout victims. Instead, Brunson (14-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) closed the distance early and beat up Alvey (26-7 MMA, 3-2 UFC)on the inside before chasing down a stoppage that wasn’t entirely a crowd-pleaser. The middleweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 73 event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 2 and UFC Fight Pass. Alvey immediately protested when referee Mario Yamasaki called a halt to the bout at the 2:19 mark of the first round
