Thiago Alves does not want to fight at middleweight
and is willing to do whatever it takes to stay at welterweight.
The fighter on Monday told MMAjunkie.com that he’s
hired nutritionist Mike Dolce, a veteran of “The Ultimate Fighter 7,” to
assure the UFC that he never again misses weight in the 170-pound
class.
Alves finds out today whether the promotion will grant his wish.
