Former UFC middleweight Sam Alvey, who resurrected his combat sports career in Karate Combat, will transition to the world of bare knuckle boxing after signing a multi-fight deal with BKFC. His first fight will take place at the promotion’s Dec. 4 event in Hershey, Pa., against an opponent to be named.
“The first BKFC event I watched was headlined by Paige VanZant and I was hooked immediately,” Alvey said. “I signed with BKFC because I will be the Ironweight World Champion. By April 2027, I will have my hand held high and the BKFC belt around my waist. I am here to make history and to cement my name as one of the most dominant combat sports athletes the world has ever known.”
