“I need to move. I’m so sick of not moving,” Alvey said. “It has been walk backwards, walk backwards, right hook. It has worked my entire career until this recent stretch of time. So, I’m done with that. I’m going to move. I’ve been out striking people and my volume has gone up when I wanted it to. I need to keep the volume up, but I need to get my feet moving, too.”
Alvey hopes these adjustments will propel him to a statement performance against Oleksiejczuk this weekend. It’s the last fight on Alvey’s UFC contract, and although he’s failed to get his hand raised in his last eight bouts in the Octagon, he’s confident that if he beats Oleksiejczuk in emphatic fashion, he will get another UFC deal.

“So win, lose or draw, I’m going out there on my shield or with it. I am trying to impress everyone,” Alvey said. “I’m trying to give people a reason to watch the UFC, and to watch myself, particularly. And I’ve really had some good fights, I’ve had some great fights here in the Octagon. Won a few of the bonuses, hopefully I’m working towards getting another one this week and it’s really been a blessed career not just because I fight well, but because the fans enjoy how I fight.
“I bring something to the sport [that] nobody else does. I enjoy the sport more than anybody. And if I can go out there, win while performing like I like to perform, like I know I can perform, I think that’ll be enough to keep me in here.”
