The winless streak continues for Sam Alvey – and the most recent extension is thanks to Brendan Allen.
After a competitive opening round, Allen (18-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) submitted Alvey (33-17-1 MMA, 10-12-1 UFC) with a rear-naked choke at the 2:10 mark of Round 2.
The light heavyweight bout was part of the UFC Fight Night 200 main card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It aired on ESPN+.
The fight predominantly took place in the striking department with Allen pushing the pace. Alvey, known as more of a counter-striker, found some success. But late in Round 1, Allen rocked Alvey, who was saved by the bell.
In Round 2, the dance continued. It was Allen who landed the first massive shot, and it was a game-changer. Alvey hit the canvas and covered up. Alvey tried to escape damage, but Allen jumped on his back. Allen quickly snuck his arm under the chin. The hooks weren’t locked in, but it didn’t matter. The choke was so deep, Alvey tapped anyway.

With the victory, Allen reentered the win column after a TKO loss to Chris Curtis in early December. The win came in his light heavyweight debut, a bout that happened at that weight because Alvey’s original opponent, Phil Hawes, withdrew earlier in fight week.
The loss for Alvey extended his winless streak to eight including seven losses and one draw. Since his promotional debut in August 2014, Alvey has competed 23 times for the promotion. With the lengthiest winless stretch in the UFC right now, it’s unknown if Alvey’s bout Saturday was his final one under the promotion’s banner.
