On this episode I speak to UFC veteran, “Smilin” Sam Alvey. Sam has 21 UFC fights under his belt and holds a professional record 33 wins 15 defeats and 1 draw. He's been fighting in the UFC since 2014 and is the co-record holder for the most fights in a 12 month period, alongside Donald Cerrone. He has competed at both LHW and middleweight in the UFC and his most recent bout is a loss to Julian Marquez at UFC fight night Vettori vs Holland, where he lost by rear naked choke but picked up fight of the night honours.

Sam speaks about his childhood, how he got into MMA later on in his life, his journey and some stories of regional fights, as well as his most recent fight and his future in the UFC. He also speaks about being a foster parent and what he is doing to try and raise awareness for foster children.
