Thiago Alves Cavalcante Rodrigues Thiago Alves Cavalcante Rodrigues has been mistaken for former UFC title challenger Thiago Alves but at RFA 35, he wants to make people know he’s his own fighter. Although they share a name, that’s pretty much where the comparisons stop. The UFC fighter is a striking specialist, but Alves (9-3) is an ace on the ground, and he hopes to put that grappling on display against David Putvin (7-1) on Friday at RFA 35. “Some people have been confused by (my name), when trying to book a fight – they think I might be Thiago ‘Pitbull’ Alves,” Alves told MMAjunkie.
