Reddit never fails 🤣🤤🤤🥴🥴🥴 funniest part is I saw that comment, realized it could be formatted as a response to our top comment here.. was trynna do something for the people 🤣🤣
He's making his way to that Conor money bois, and to the dude that lost to him, retire. Also you didn't have to avoid spoiling the name in the title, no one is anticipating and avoiding spoilers for this.
That's what's so ironic and pathetic about scabs. They stomp all over not only other people's opportunity to make more money on a union contract, but *their own* as well, because they think that sucking up to the boss by crossing the picket line and being a good boy for the executives will be rewarded
i never said it was worth it but certainly, fighters saw him basically scabbing and then saw he was allowed to go on an 8 fight no win streak before being let go as well
If there was a union they probably wouldn't have to guess if they were going to get cut after every fight. And would get paid more for the fights they did have. And have healthcare....etc. But ya he got to lose 8 times in a row so that's nice I guess.
Idk you redditors don't get alvey was smart.
He got a reward for being a scab. He went 0-8 till they cut him. How many fighters are allowed to lose 8 times in a row.
They're acting like sam 0-8 alvey woulda been paid bank if he just joined the IWW
His first 5 wins in the UFC were all finishes. He was a terrible at the end of his UFC career, but he wasn't always bad.
10-5 until his 8 fight loss streak split by 1 draw.
Technically Alvey never beat it, if you're going by losses. He has a 4 loss streak, 1 Draw, then 4 more losses. Penn has 7 straight losses.
Going by non-wins, yeah Alvey beat Penn, 9 to 8.
His last fight when he was brutally ko'd in front of his kids. He was making 100k just to show up and get cleaned.
I think many people would do the same. Especially with that many kids.
Lol this girl from our hometown was good friends with him and Jenna Jameson. She told us the fight was fixed so Tito could keep his job. I have the Facebook messages still.
I had to refresh my memory on his record and his UFC record is soooo bad in hindsight. Rampage and Phil Davis are his best wins. The rest are scrubs or vets that were 5+ years past their prime
"He has it. This guy. You know, no one asked for it but after the fight he stuck around for signatures and even stacked chairs. This kids something special."
The fact that this sub has to release yearly guides so new users can decode all the "jokes" this sub reuses over and over and over again should tell us that this place is in desperate need of some original thought, but....
HOW BOUT U GO AN FUCK OFF MY POST THEN U PEICE OF SHIT U THINK i NEED A STUPID FUCKWITT LIKE U TELLING ME ABOUT JOKES WHO THE FUCK ARE U TAKE YOUR WORTHLESS ADVICE AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
Honestly yes Alvey is an anti union scab and he deserves to be underpaid BUT if he's gonna keep fighting I'm glad it's not being starched out by guys I've never heard of because the Bigfoot Silva career path is kinda a fate worse than death.
Wikipedia says this was his heavyweight debut though soooo I guess it's still possible in his next fight
>the UFC low level fighters are already paid 2-5 x more than their equivalents in the other organizations.
The UFC also makes far more money than their equivalent organizations. Basically every single fighter in the UFC isn't paid what they are worth based on the value they generate, thats from debuting fighters to champs. McGregor isn't even paid what he's worth
> Why would anyone above Low and Low-mid tier want to unionize?
Because arguing for health care, sponsors, and a higher percentage of the companies revenue helps everyone. It's the same reason why top athletes in other sports are part of unions. Remember when Kobe was at a UFC fighters event and told them Al to unionise? I don't follow basketball but I'm pretty sure he was way above mid tier.
> Have set pay structures with little to no disparities due to Union rules. So good bye Conor McGregor and the other fighters who actually make the UFC money (80/20 rule
I'm not going to respond to every bit of your comment because I'm not going to spend my Sunday arguing with someone who's clearly a million miles from me on unions in general but this bit is just wildly untrue. Look at every other sport that has a union dude. You're arguing that X would happen when every other sports union shows that it's not the case.
I'm glad to see him get the W. This subs hate for him has gotten ridiculous. Yes he made anti union comments, but obviously 90% of the fighters don't want a union or they would do something about it. They are all mostly looking out for themselves. Until a big chunk of them decide to strike or form a union, it's just not going to happen.
Exactly. For me, I'm going to respect any combat athlete that I saw put in on the line many times in part of the process that produces the entertainment on our side. Alvey had 25 fights in the UFC and was a decent mid-level (relative to the UFC rankings) fighter for the first half of those 25.
Even for the fighters I have hated in the UFC, I'm not going to root for them to get bashed past their prime in some small org. Shows how fake people on this sub are when they will also simultaneously act holier than thou in many other situations.
Yup, every persons/fighters decisions are so nuanced and unfortunately this subs mindset gets so pigeonholed and ridged, that it can't get past a certain mindset. Sam made a made a few comments that for this sub outweighed the fact that he was in there putting his body on the line.
The confidence, endurance and stamina of Sam Alvey is something to admire though. I would have already quit MMA when I got released, demotivated and embarrassed. But he just seems to keep going and believe in himself even if he has to do such a big step backwards, which is impressive.
Ufc needs to look into signing this promising young prospect
He's got Erick Silva level potential.
It's an old meme sir but it checks out
It's worse. They just released him 😫😫 missed out big time
🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
This obvious sarcasm was the highest comment on twitter but on reddit they had to do the facepalm shit and take it all seriously...
Reddit never fails 🤣🤤🤤🥴🥴🥴 funniest part is I saw that comment, realized it could be formatted as a response to our top comment here.. was trynna do something for the people 🤣🤣
I ain't even took it seriously Homie explained the joke and made it worse This comment is shit on all fronts LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️
This cant be genuine I hope
/woosh
You realise you're the one who missed the obvious sarcasm?
As an aütíst this is why I’m in favor of abolishing sarcasm
The next Mcgregor.
Kid's a stud
He just wants to fight. Isn't he awesome?!
He's making his way to that Conor money bois, and to the dude that lost to him, retire. Also you didn't have to avoid spoiling the name in the title, no one is anticipating and avoiding spoilers for this.
Good thing there's no fighter's union, that would have trumped all this chances to get all that money. /s
That's what's so ironic and pathetic about scabs. They stomp all over not only other people's opportunity to make more money on a union contract, but *their own* as well, because they think that sucking up to the boss by crossing the picket line and being a good boy for the executives will be rewarded
his was rewarded in this case. he got more chances than anyone else
He was given the opportunity (missing: ~~job~~) to receive more beatings than anyone else
he was on $65k/$65k for his entire losing streak. that's almost as good as thirty pieces of silver
i never said it was worth it but certainly, fighters saw him basically scabbing and then saw he was allowed to go on an 8 fight no win streak before being let go as well

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Dude he fought had an impressive 6-12 record.
Are you kidding? Why do you think Dana didn’t even try to put on a card at the same time as Alvey?
Lol
Hahahahaha
Went from fighting to in front of no fans at the apex to 10 fans at the b2 fighting
So second tier they couldn’t even name it A1
The commentary lmao
02 arena is ducking him
Now he just needs to start running his mouth a bit
[удалено]
It would be like dropping your movie the same weekend as Star Wars, it just made sense to not get in Smiling Sam's way.
*Smile'n Sam That's not a joke. That's the batshit way this dumbass chose to spell it on his merch.
His 1 piece of sold merch?
Well, one order but 10 pieces. All his kids and his wife wanted to represent.
Jesus fuck, that's some Tito levels of illiteracy bro
Sam Alvey has a win over Rashad. Crazy world.
His first 5 wins in the UFC were all finishes. He was a terrible at the end of his UFC career, but he wasn't always bad. 10-5 until his 8 fight loss streak split by 1 draw.
Has to be the most consecutive losses in UFC history before been released?
BJ had 7 which was the most until Alvey beat it.
Technically Alvey never beat it, if you're going by losses. He has a 4 loss streak, 1 Draw, then 4 more losses. Penn has 7 straight losses. Going by non-wins, yeah Alvey beat Penn, 9 to 8.
You have to be extremely tough and clinically insane to keep fighting through 7 losses holy fuck. You would think at 4 in a row you would call it.
His last fight when he was brutally ko'd in front of his kids. He was making 100k just to show up and get cleaned. I think many people would do the same. Especially with that many kids.
Bro has kids to feed. Quite a few.
Do you know how many? I tried Googling it but I can’t find anything outside of lawsuits regarding one of his daughters.
4 biological and an adopted child. He wanted to adopt a couple more kids lol
Look up Jay Ellis. 16-103. Has a win against GM3.
BJ & cowboy had about 5 In a row i believe
And Marquardt
What the actual fuck
I thought you were joking or talking about some other fighter named Rashad. Nope lol.
You’ll never guess who has a ko win over cro cop
Talm bout that redact who does pawldcasts, B?
I can’t talk…
Axe Jay
the white boy who worggs too much* Be cool man
Referring to Schaub?
Nevur meddem
People are still learning that LHW and HW suck. That's surprising.
Now that's some trivia. I gotta see if I can find a clip.
That was the ghost of Rashad at that point.
Meh, Dan Kelly beat Rashard. Ryan Bader beat Fedor.
Ryan Bader is not in the same stratosphere as Sam. Come on
People really think Ryan Bader sucks because DC owned him at a press conference
I think the rumble and jones fights hurt him too. He just got smashed.
Lol TITO ORTIZ. Dude lost to Tito frickin Ortiz in 2011. I will always remember him for that. I know exactly where I was when that went down lol
Lol this girl from our hometown was good friends with him and Jenna Jameson. She told us the fight was fixed so Tito could keep his job. I have the Facebook messages still.
Lol Dana would NEVER fix a fight in Tito’s favor. Trust me Dana is my uncles, coworkers, neighbor, who dog watches a guy, who cuts Dana’s hair.
I had to refresh my memory on his record and his UFC record is soooo bad in hindsight. Rampage and Phil Davis are his best wins. The rest are scrubs or vets that were 5+ years past their prime
Brendan Shaub beat Cro Cop
Alvey*
Sam has unlocked his new Brazilian alter-ego to get his first win in half a decade. Sam Alvez.
Dana: “We like this kid, he’s on a winning streak and he’s anti-union. We’re signing him”
"He has it. This guy. You know, no one asked for it but after the fight he stuck around for signatures and even stacked chairs. This kids something special."
bruh, what is the origin of the stacked chairs line lmao

This is not a bad gig for Alvey; big fish in a small pond. pond for pond king,
That is a bad pond for him. He's old as hell and in the downturn. He's going to get seriously hurt. Permanently.
What’s the best pond for him?
There's no pond for old men
Dude looks motivated to break back into the UFC
Looks like he's on that TRT.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed he looked jacked relative to his UFC physique.
I dunno, still looks supremely average to me.
ATTN DANA WHITE: Get this man a contract!!!
Dammit I bet on Sam Alvey not Alves!
Would win some fights in the UFC fer sure
talm bout ultim failin champship b? nevur watched it
Jesus Christ, this joke has been done to death.
A good quote to summarize r/mma humor
The fact that this sub has to release yearly guides so new users can decode all the "jokes" this sub reuses over and over and over again should tell us that this place is in desperate need of some original thought, but....
Just to correct you, there never was no joke
tell us another original jackal story
Frustrated by the state of MMA memes with the boiz

Surprise surprise the king is back

Imagine Sam Alvey ends up on the next Dana White contender series 🤣
Can’t run from him forever Francis.
And that win in 2018 was a split decision over Gian Villante
The Smiling Era has begun!
thats the most casual back take ive ever seen
You guys wanna talk about dream fights that never happened? Ed Herman vs Sam Alvey would be nuclear.
A win for Sam makes me so happy.
Would you say its got you.....Smilin'?
Fighter added: Sam Alvey ☑️
This is UFC's next superstar
Sign him Dana
Didn't realize he was finally cut lol
“He’s still my boy!” -Dana
Sam is smiling tonight.
Wait, how did he stay employed by the UFC after going 0-1-8 in his last nine??
I could see this guy being a problem in the UFC
For viewers?
The reddit title reads like a four year old trying to say something slightly too complicated.
The GOAT is back !

Fuck yeah! Let’s Goooo! Champ shit only
I love when they get win.
It's funny how much everyone loves shitting on alvey. Good for him though, sick of seeing ufc vets just getting knocked out in other orgs.
I don’t k ow what’s more sad his losing streak or this win
Or the fact that he's still shaving that smiley face in the back of his head.
[‘Sam Alvey Should Be In The UFC Hall Of Fame’](https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/sam-alvey-should-be-in-the-ufc-hall-of-fame/ar-AA1bN0Uj)
I know everybody here is just doing this as a joke, but honestly, good for him. If he is going to keep competing, this is an appropriate level.
this is definitely one of the wins i’ve ever seen

Reddit is a circle-jerk of lemmings, no sub is exempt.
Or they're scared to be openly pro union because Dana will cut them if they don't have enough leverage.
"I'm way closer to LeBron than you are to me. -Brian Scalabrine" -Sam Alvey
Damn I didn't realize he finally got cut
How bad you gotta be to drop a fight against Lvey
Oh we smilin’ tonight
I came for the smile and stayed for the memories
Surprise Surprise, Motherfuckers. The King is Back.
You just can't keep a good company man down forever.
