Alves is one of the most feared strikers at 170 pounds. Despite coming from a school made up of primarily grapplers and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts, Alves is a Muay Thai specialist that has rounded out his skill as his career has moved along and has added great takedown defense to compliment his striking. After going 7-1 in his pre-UFC fights he started his UFC career winning two out of his first four fights. Since then he has reeled off seven straight wins including five by KO and cemented himself as the number 1 contender at 170. Notable Wins: Marcus Davis, Karo Parisyan, Matt Hughes, Josh Koscheck
