Sam Alvey keeps getting chances in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Despite holding an 0-6-1 record in his last seven Octagon appearances, Alvey will square off against Ian Heinisch at a UFC event on Feb. 5. MMAFighting.com was first to report the middleweight pairing. The card does not yet have a location or headliner.
Alvey hasn’t tasted victory within the Las Vegas-based promotion since taking a split verdict over Gian Villante at UFC Fight Night 131 in June 2018. Most recently, he dropped a split decision to Wellington Turman at UFC on ESPN 30.
