Alvin Hines

Overview

Alvin Hines throws a lot and lands a lot, and he pays for it on the other end. "Goozie" is a heavyweight out of Deer River, Minnesota, fighting for La Bodega. He is 0-2 in the UFC and 7-2-0 across all promotions, and he carries a two-fight losing streak into his next bout.

UFC Career

Hines made his UFC debut at UFC 317 against Jhonata Diniz and went the full three rounds, dropping a unanimous decision. He lasted all 15 minutes.

His second UFC fight was much shorter. At UFC Fight Night: Du Plessis vs. Usman, RJ Harris stopped him by KO/TKO in round 1 at 1:40.

Two fights is a small sample. One loss went the distance and one ended early.

Fighting Style

Alvin Hines is a busy striker who throws a lot of volume, but he is also easy to hit. He absorbs more than most, and his accuracy and defense have not kept pace with his output. Fights with him tend to be exchanges, not clean one-sided work.

Grappling is not part of his game. He rarely shoots for takedowns, he gets taken down more than most, and he does not hunt for submissions.

He is 0-2 in the UFC with no finishes. Both losses came away from the mat: one by KO/TKO and one by decision.
