Thiago Alves to test market after Means bout, wants 45 fights on record before retiring

Former UFC welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves will have the last fight of his current contract on Saturday night, but that does not mean the veteran is considering retirement after the match. Paired up against Tim Means at UFC on ESPN 7, ‘Pitbull’ has some plans for his future, be it in the UFC or not.

In an interview with Ag Fight, the 36-year-old revealed that he does not plan on retiring before achieving the mark of 45 professional bouts. Alves, whose record stands at 23-14, would need nine more contests to reach his goal.
