A world traveler and company man through and through, Sam Alvey is happy to finally be fighting close to home. The light heavyweight has competed 17 times for the UFC since his promotional debut in August 2014. From Australia to Brazil to Canada to Poland, Alvey (33-12 MMA, 10-7 UFC) has competed around the world on seemingly any and every card the UFC has asked him to. Often, he played the role of “the bad guy” in his fights – the foreigner, who came in to take out a home-country competitor.
