If you watched “The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson,” then you know him as the guy who never stopped smiling, Sam Alvey. In a season not filled with memorable moments, Alvey stuck out with his fight to get in the house when he won via KO throwing a single punch. Alvey was selected first overall by team Carwin, but lost his first fight in the house via Majority Decision.

Alvey is set to be the Co-Main Event in his debut for MFC and he talked with bjpenn.com’s fist-ta-cuff radio show Sunday night about a number of things, but was first asked about how he wasn’t brought back from his season of ultimate fighter to fight in the UFC.

Alvey-

“You know I was surprised, but you know, one door closes and a bigger door opens. I’m fighting for a world title and I couldn’t be more excited about it.”

Sam Alvey is currently on a two fight win streak with both wins coming by way of TKO, and fist-ta-cuff wanted to know a little bit about how the title fight with MFC against Elvis Mutapcic came about.

Alvey –

“You know MFC is all about putting on good fights, and if you look through the history of my fights I got a lot of knockouts and a lot of them come quick. I started the season of ultimate fighter out with a big knockout and I think watching Elvis fight he likes to hit hard too. So I think the match-up just makes perfect sense, two guys who just love punching one another. The offer, they came with it and we jumped at it, me and my team.”
