If Sam Alvey landed in hot water last weekend at UFC Fight Night 65, at least it was in the most Sam Alvey way possible. The happy-go-lucky middleweight starched Dan Kelly in just 49 seconds during an undercard bout on Saturday, before getting on the mic to challenge happy-go-lucky middleweight Elias Theodorou to—wait for it—a […]

Saturday’s UFC on Fox event from New Jersey is a breath of fresh air. It is a beacon shining in the night, smack dab in the middle of a mostly dreadful Fight Pass card and UFC 186, which might very well be the fight card that tests just how low the promotion’s pay-per-view bottom can […]
