Have fists. Will travel.
That seems to be the way Sam Alvey has approached his professional career, one that features 45 fights in eight different countries.
While the majority of those appearances have come in the continental United States, the 32-year-old from Wisconsin has always used competing in the cage as a way to see the world, accepting fights in foreign locales in exchange for actual pay during his early years. Since signing with the UFC in the summer of 2014, the affable light heavyweight has maintained that approach, making more appearances abroad (nine) than at home (seven) while amassing a 10-6 record and a reputation for always being down for a scrap.
