Warlley "Slingshot" Alves Andrade (born January 4, 1991), is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional MMA competitor since 2011, Warlley made a name for himself fighting at Jungle Fight.[2] He is the winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 Middleweight tournament.[3]

The Ultimate Fighter

On February 26, 2014 it was revealed that Alves was selected to be a participant on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.[4] Alves defeated Wendell Oliveira by split decision to move into the Ultimate Fighter house, and become an official cast member.[5]

Alves was selected as the third pick (fifth overall) of coach Chael Sonnen to be a part of Team Sonnen. In his second Middleweight fight of the season, Alves was selected to fight Ismael de Jesus. Alves won via knockout (knees) in the first round.[6] He was then scheduled to face Wagner Silva for a spot in the final against Marcio Alexandre Jr. He defeated Silva by submission (guillotine choke).[7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Alves made his UFC debut on May 31, 2014 at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale against Márcio Alexandre Jr. to determine the winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 middleweight tournament.[8] He won the fight via technical submission (guillotine choke) with only twenty-five seconds left to the end of the third round.[9] After the fight Alves stated that he would fight in the Welterweight division of UFC.[10]

Alves next fought Alan Jouban on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 56 in the co-main event.[11] He won the fight by a controversial unanimous decision.[12]
