Sam Alvey, UFC Part Ways After Record-Setting Winless Streak

As expected, Sam Alvey is no longer part of the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster.

Alvey has parted ways with the Las Vegas-based promotion on the heels of a first-round technical knockout loss to Michal Oleksiejczuk at UFC on ESPN 40 this past Saturday. It was Alvey’s ninth consecutive Octagon appearance without a victory, a UFC record.

“Smile’n” Sam confirmed his departure in good natured fashion while sharing some of his favorite memes regarding the situation via Instagram. “Hey [Jake Paul], I’m not under contract anymore,” he wrote.

Alvey revealed that he suffered a broken jaw in the loss to Oleksiejczuk. His last UFC victory came at UFC Fight Night 131 on June 1, 2018, when he defeated Gian Villante via split decision. His UFC tenure, which began in 2014, included other notable triumphs against the likes of Rashad Evans and Nate Marquardt.
