'Smile'n' Sam stepped into the octagon last weekend full of optimism as he hoped to put on a performance that warranted a new UFC contract. Unfortunately, that didn't come to fruition as Michał Oleksiejczuk finished the 36-year-old veteran in the very first round. After the 'UFC Roster Watch' Twitter account revealed that Alvey had been removed from the roster, featherweight prospect Chase Hooper reacted to the news, humorously asking for a moment of silence for the "GOAT." "Gonna need a moment of silence for the GOAT" Chase Hooper@chase_hooperGonna need a moment of silence for the GOAT twitter.com/ufcrosterwatch…UFC Roster Watch@UFCRosterWatch Fighter removed: Sam Alvey194561 Fighter removed: Sam AlveyGonna need a moment of silence for the GOAT twitter.com/ufcrosterwatch… Despite his poor run of form in the octagon, fans have often joked that Alvey will eventually win the title. In response to the UFC vet's apparent release, one Twitter user sarcastically suggested that they were shocked that the promotion would release on a fighter on a "title run." "Damn on the title run he was on? Makes no sense." taylor@_thatssotaylor_@UFCRosterWatch Damn on the title run he was on? Makes no sense.@UFCRosterWatch Damn on the title run he was on?

The 36-year-old is a huge fan of pro-wrestling and revealed he would struggle to choose between WWE or AEW if they ever came knocking. In a recent interview with KJ That Guy, Alvey confirmed that his priority was to try and earn himself a new UFC contract. With that now seemingly not a possibility, he could pursue the switch to becoming a wrestling superstar. "I absolutely would [get into wrestling]. I mean in a heartbeat. Now I love the UFC and I hope to spend the rest of my career fighting because there’s few things I like more. But if I had the opportunity to perform on the wrestling stage, I would do it in a heartbeat." The American added: "I would like that [joining AEW]. The WWE, after The Attitude Era, they started locking down on people’s mic time and it seems so much more scripted now than it used to and I would love the free reign to get that mic and just try to make fans that way."
