Three consecutive losses have painted Warlley Alves into a corner a decade into his Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure.
“The Ultimate Fighter Brazil” Season 3 winner will attempt to stop the proverbial bleeding when he faces Abusupiyan Magomedov in a three-round UFC Fight Night 241 middleweight prelim on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Alves, 33, sports a head-above-water 8-7 record in the UFC, but he has not visited victory lane in more than three years, leading many to question whether or not he can hold down on a spot on the roster much longer.
