Sam Alvey and his wife, McKey Sullivan, decided to train while in quarantine at Fight Island

Sam Alvey decided to get some workouts done with his wife, McKey Sullivan, at Fight Island ahead of a huge clash.

The 35-year-old is to face Da Un Jung at UFC 254. However, he first has to deal with quarantine. The UAE has done a lot to ensure that the fighters are safe in their hotels and Alvey was tested for Covid after getting off the flight.

He posted a couple of videos on his Instagram account and one featured him working out with his wife.

McKey Sullivan, a winner of America’s Next Top Model, has turned into a fitness freak and is now an MMA practitioner.

She and Alvey took turns trying to get some punches in and the UFC star also claimed he was missing his five children but was having fun during quarantine:

Alvey certainly seems to be enjoying his time in Abu Dhabi, but faces a tough clash at UFC 254.

Needs to beat the streak

The American has lost his last four UFC fights and he had spoken earlier about just being happy getting another fight in the promotion.

Alvey carries an MMA record of 33 wins and 14 losses and won gold in the Maximum Fighting Championship.

He is yet to repeat that feat in the UFC and his opponent, Jung, is 13-2 in his MMA career. The South Korean is on a 12-fight win streak and has impressed in both his UFC outings so far.

Alvey does have some impressive performances in his UFC career, like the win over Rashad Evans, and it will be interesting to see how he performs on Saturday.
