UFC on ESPN 40 video: Michal Oleksiejczuk pushes Sam Alvey’s skid to nine fights with quick TKO

Sam Alvey has a dubious record attached to his name after suffering another defeat at UFC on ESPN 40.

Alvey’s (33-18-1 MMA, 10-13-1 UFC) now record run of consecutive UFC appearances without a win hit nine fights when he suffered a first-round TKO against Michal Oleksiejczuk (17-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) on Saturday’s card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

It was one-way traffic for Oleksiejczuk, who dropped Alvey early and then battered him with punches on the mat until referee Herb Dean mercifully stopped the action less than two minutes into the middleweight bout.

Check out the replay of the finish below (via Twitter):

Although Oleksiejczuk impressed with a dominant performance in his debut at 185 pounds, the post-fight narrative revolved around Alvey, who came into the event tied with B.J. Penn for longest winless skid in company history.

Alvey now holds that record for himself at nine, and this fight was the last on his UFC contract.
