What Sam Alvey asks for, Sam Alvey gets. At least it seems that way. After a huge knockout win over Marcin Prachnio at a UFC on Fox event last month, Alvey used his post-fight interview to request a fight with Gian Villante. And the UFC has decided to grant him that, with the two men meeting in a light heavyweight bout in Utica on June 1st.
Newsday was the first to break news of the bout.
The 31-year-old Alvey (32-10, 1 NC, 9-5 UFC) bounced back from a lost to Ramazan Emeev with the Prachnio KO.
