Fuck yes confirmed by MMAJunkie
"Middleweight slugger
Sam Alvey (31-9 MMA, 8-4 UFC) has made it clear he wants to stay as busy as possible, and that includes picking up the phone whenever the UFC calls.
This time, the voice on the other end of the line asked him to step in on a little more than one week’s notice to replace
Trevor Smith (15-7 MMA, 5-4 UFC) and face Russian prospect
Ramazan Emeev (15-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 118.
Alvey said yes.
UFC officials today announced the change for the Oct. 21 event, which takes place at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass."
