Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Ramazan Emeev is considering a change in weight class for his next fight despite picking up a convincing win over an established name in the middleweight division at UFC Fight Night 118. Emeev (16-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) earned a unanimous-decision victory over Sam Alvey (31-10 MMA, 8-5 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed card at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. The performance marked his 13th win in his past 14 fights, and though the Russian hasn’t suffered a loss in nearly three years, he said a drop to welterweight may be in order.

He’s off to a nice start, though; Alvey came into the fight on the high of a win over former UFC champion Rashad Evans
