Alves solely received one among his first 4 UFC bouts, admittedly, however his three defeats got here by the hands of Damir Ismagulov, Nurullo Aliev, and Drew Dober. That’s a trio of Lightweights who beat greater than most on the roster, and extra importantly, Alves proved himself ridiculously enjoyable to look at in victory or defeat.
