TUF Brazil 3 champion Warlley Alves has big hopes for his career should he score a win at UFC Vegas 29. Paired up against short-notice replacement Jeremiah Wells, the ‘Slingshot’ wishes that an impressive enough performance could put him in the top 15 of the division so he can better represent his home country.
After knocking out Mounir Lazzez in his last outing, Alves was set to face Ramazan Emeev, but the Russian was forced out of the card due to injury. Now scheduled to take on promotional newcomer Wells, the 30-year-old tells Combate he expects nothing short of a war, with him coming out on top at the end.
