UFC middleweight standout “Smiling” Sam Alvey picked up this biggest win of his mixed martial arts career at last night’s UFC Fight Night 114 event in Mexico City, defeating former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans via split-decision.
Following his victory over “Suga”, Alvey proceeded to callout another former UFC champion in Vitor Belfort.
Today, “The Phenom” responded to Alvey’s challenge with the following post on Instagram.
“@smilensam let’s fight in Vegas. You are gonna make history: You Will be the 1st man to get knockdown with a smile on the face 😂 @ufc Just send me the bout agreement.”
Vitor Belfort was most recently seen in action at June’s UFC 212 pay-per-view event in Brazil where he scored a unanimous decision victory over former Strikeforce title holder Nate Marquardt.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion, Belfort, has gone 2-2 with 1 no-contest over his past five fights suffering TKO losses to Gegard Mousasi and Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in that time.
Meanwhile, “Smiling” Sam has now won five of his last six contests. Alvey’s lone setback during that time came to former middleweight title challenger Thales Leites via decision.
