In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia sits down with UFC veteran and fan favorite “Smilin’” Sam Alvey for a conversation that goes far beyond the cage. Known for his grit, grin, and unforgettable career in mixed martial arts, Sam shares what kept him grounded through the highs and lows of professional fighting. From pre-fight rituals of prayer and gratitude, to lessons learned inside and outside the octagon, he opens up about the role of faith, family, and perseverance in shaping who he is today. This is more than a fighter’s story—it’s a testament to living with joy, discipline, and unshakable purpose, no matter the battles you face.
