Sam Alvey fought 5 times in 2017, gets 6 month suspension

[Rebel_LioN]

Damn dude went into his last fight thinking it was at 205 and cut from 220. This guy is crazy --

Guess that spells the end of his marathon run.

 

[Coolidge]

That doesn't mean he has to sit out that long.

Also, he's not all that crazy. He doesn't actually do anything during these fights. He should be fighting even more often to make up for throwing one punch per round.

4 times in 2017

Beat: Rashad Evans + Nate Marquardt
Lost: Ramazan Emeev + Thales Leites

His fights are horrible.

His fights are horrible.

Understatement if you ask me. Let's not even get started on his post fight interviews.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Obviously meant 5 times in a year... why are they holding him off for 6 months? Link us up.

 

[Strikes Again]

I'm pretty confused here. Suspended for a big weight cut?

I hadn't heard about this. At what point did he find out it was at 185?

 

[countswagula]

Are you talking about a medical suspension? Because you just need to get cleared by a doctor if that's the case.

 

[Ceez]

Who cares..

[SalvadorAllende]

It is bizarre how he thought it was a LHW bout LOL.

BTW... athletic comissions suspend a lot of people. He will get cleared as they always do.

May want to brush up on this, TS.

It wasn’t in the too distant past that fighters fought this frequently. The fighting once a year (or less) is a “new school” thing. War Alvey!!

About 1.5 weeks out.

Flew to Poland. Lost 25% of purse losing 35ish pounds
