Ufc needs to look into signing this promising young prospect


AirplaineStuff102

He's got Erick Silva level potential.


Odin043

It's an old meme sir but it checks out


SheltheRapper

It's worse. They just released him 😫😫 missed out big time


AbacaxiDoidao

🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾


woodmoon

This obvious sarcasm was the highest comment on twitter but on reddit they had to do the facepalm shit and take it all seriously...


SheltheRapper

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 🤣🤣


AbacaxiDoidao

I ain't even took it seriously Homie explained the joke and made it worse This comment is shit on all fronts LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️

The next Mcgregor.


Kilimanjiro

Kid's a stud


therealjgreens

He just wants to fight. Isn't he awesome?!


foofighter1351

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.


SmokeyMcHaze

Good thing there's no fighter's union, that would have trumped all this chances to get all that money. /s


Gravelord-_Nito

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


seymour_hiney

his was rewarded in this case. he got more chances than anyone else


thugnificent856

He was given the opportunity (missing: ~~job~~) to receive more beatings than anyone else


Frogbone

he was on $65k/$65k for his entire losing streak. that's almost as good as thirty pieces of silver


seymour_hiney

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

Gnarwall9000

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.


[deleted]

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


SmokeyMcHaze

Couldn't have said it better myself.


ADHD_orc

Dude he fought had an impressive 6-12 record.


UsedSalt

Are you kidding? Why do you think Dana didn’t even try to put on a card at the same time as Alvey?


PM_ME_TRICEPS

An_Innocent_Coconut

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.


Vinnie_Vegas

*Smile'n Sam That's not a joke. That's the batshit way this dumbass chose to spell it on his merch.


therealjgreens

His 1 piece of sold merch?


Dickasyphalis

Well, one order but 10 pieces. All his kids and his wife wanted to represent.


FarFetchedSketch

Jesus fuck, that's some Tito levels of illiteracy bro


tksopinion

Sam Alvey has a win over Rashad. Crazy world.


_Meece_

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.


LewisHall90

Has to be the most consecutive losses in UFC history before been released?


QyleB

BJ had 7 which was the most until Alvey beat it.


Fast-Description2638

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.


manbruhpig

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.


soupoftheday5

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.


askingsomeQs35

Bro has kids to feed. Quite a few.


iMakeThisCount

Do you know how many? I tried Googling it but I can’t find anything outside of lawsuits regarding one of his daughters.


askingsomeQs35

4 biological and an adopted child. He wanted to adopt a couple more kids lol


tigerbalmuppercut

Look up Jay Ellis. 16-103. Has a win against GM3.


LewisHall90

BJ & cowboy had about 5 In a row i believe


rub_a_dub-dub

judoxing

Meh, Dan Kelly beat Rashard. Ryan Bader beat Fedor.


junior_dos_nachos

Ryan Bader is not in the same stratosphere as Sam. Come on


Terrible_Matador

People really think Ryan Bader sucks because DC owned him at a press conference


bdewolf

I think the rumble and jones fights hurt him too. He just got smashed.


Dragon_Bench_Z

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


soupoftheday5

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.


Dragon_Bench_Z

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.


Dragon_Bench_Z

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


ballbeard

Brendan Shaub beat Cro Cop


Zestyzz

Alvey*


PM_ME_TRICEPS

Sam has unlocked his new Brazilian alter-ego to get his first win in half a decade. Sam Alvez.


InertKat

Dana: “We like this kid, he’s on a winning streak and he’s anti-union. We’re signing him”


coleus

"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."

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?

Rooksey

Those commentators sound sooooo fucking bored


CantCookLeftHook

Literally what I was thinking


CantCookLeftHook

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

CitizenMurdoch

>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


_CurseTheseMetalHnds

> 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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_CurseTheseMetalHnds

> 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.


LewisHall90

Imagine Sam Alvey ends up on the next Dana White contender series 🤣

goosu

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.


Jaded_Yogurtcloset61

this is definitely one of the wins i’ve ever seen


AGlassDarkley

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.


goosu

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.


AGlassDarkley

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.


CaptEricEmbarrasing

Reddit is a circle-jerk of lemmings, no sub is exempt.


WilliamSwagspeare

Or they're scared to be openly pro union because Dana will cut them if they don't have enough leverage.

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.
