Hailing from Spain, Joel Alvarez established himself as a force by winning the lightweight championship for the Ansgar Fighting League. He transitioned into the UFC in 2019, where he has campaigned as both a lightweight and a welterweight. Representing Bandog Fight Club, the orthodox fighter developed a reputation for finishing opponents, frequently forcing them to submit during his professional journey.
Alvarez enters this matchup carrying a career record of 23 wins and 3 losses. His current momentum includes four consecutive victories. Most recently, he earned a unanimous decision against Vicente Luque in October 2025. This followed a knockout of Drakkar Klose, a TKO finish of Elves Brener, and a brabo choke submission victory over Marc Diakiese. His last setback occurred in early 2022 against Arman Tsarukyan.
