Although Ultimate has taken preventive measures, canceling three events, to minimize the possibility of transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19), there are those who maintain the thought that the pandemic that haunts the world is just casual. It is the case that Sam alvey, who had a fight scheduled against Khalil rountree on the 28th, but his appointment was postponed. In an interview with 'MMA Fighting', the American expressed his discontent and suggested that the actions are exaggerated.

“I am very disappointed (with the cancellation). I thought the fight would happen, but I still believe that the North American people will get sick of the pandemic”, said the fighter.
Still skeptical about the disease, Alvey added that he believes it is all just a big hysteria, and that the world will soon return to normal.
“It’s a huge overreaction. The deaths are terrible, and I'm so sorry for all the families that suffered from this, but pneumonia, just a typical flu season, killed about 20.000 people, and people just don't pay attention to it,” Sam said.
In the appointment on the 28th, Alvey would try to recover from the bad phase he experienced within Ultimate. The light heavyweight comes from three consecutive defeats and has not won a fight since June 2018.
