Sam Alvey sees it as a business trip, with pleasure as a perk.
Once a staple of the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight division, Sam Alvey will try to continue his climb at 205 pounds when he meets Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in a light heavyweight showcase at UFC Fight Night 137 on Sept. 22 at Geraldo Jose de Almeida Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “Smile’n Sam” plans to leave the event with his patented grin at the expense of a national hero.
After an 8-5 run at 185 pounds, Alvey made the switch to light heavyweight.
