UFC veteran Warlley Alves leaves the promotion after Vier-Vecht Skid
After a series of reports on social media, MMA fights has learned from the inside sources that Brazilian welterweight veteran Warlley Alves said goodbye to the UFC.
Alves made his promotion debut all the way back in 2014 when he claimed the middleweight trophy at the Ultimate Fighter: Brazil – that team Chael Sonen represents.
His UFC official period could not have started better; Scoring a unanimous decision victory over Alan Jouban and completing Nordine Taleb via a guillotine choke … Before he met against the future UFC -Interim -Wyter weight champion, Colby 'Chaos' Covington.
Although it was a significant underdog for 'chaos', Alves did not show any signs of nerves and he certainly had his timing on that night in Las Vegas, which took place on the UFC 194 Undercard: Aldo vs McGregor.
While the Brash American came in for an early branchedown, Alves found the space to lock up a second consecutive entry from Guillotine, with Covington traveling at 1:26 of the first round.
Colby Covington remained the best victory of the UFC career of Warlley Alves
After that shock from Underdog, the UFC chose to quickly move Alves the ladder of Welterweight; Undoubtedly too fast, because he lost his next two fights through a unanimous decision – one by Bryan Barbera and the other to future champion Kamaru Usman.
The Brazilian then experienced a stop-start time between 2016 and 2020 and took three victories between losses for James Krause and Randy Brown.
Alves seemed to have gone to have gone at the beginning of 2021 when he sent Mounir Lazzez in the first round with cruel body kicks to ground and pounds; However, that would be the last time that he tasted the victory in the UFC -Oachthoek.
Between 2021 and May 2024, Alves would experience four straight defeats, including interruption losses for both Jeremiah Wells and IKRAM Aliskerov.
Alves leaves the UFC with a professional record of 14-8 and a promotional record of 8-8.
