Alonzo Menifield is slated to compete in the co-main event at UFC Macau on May 30, with the card set to air live on Paramount Plus.
Menifield, known as "Atomic," enters the bout carrying a professional record of 17-6-1 in the light heavyweight division, where he currently holds the number 14 ranking. The 38-year-old American trains out of Saekson Muay Thai and brings a physically imposing frame to the cage, standing six feet tall with a 76-inch reach. Fighting out of an orthodox stance, Menifield has built his reputation on consistent striking output, landing 3.77 significant strikes per minute at a 53 percent accuracy rate. His grappling activity is measured but present, averaging 0.5 takedowns per 15 minutes across his career.
Why it matters
- At 38, Menifield is at a critical stage of his career and a strong co-main performance could push him back into contention in a competitive 205-pound division.
- His placement in a co-main event slot at UFC Macau signals the organization views him as a marketable and credible draw at light heavyweight.
- Menifield's striking-heavy style makes for compelling viewing and sets up engaging stylistic questions against any opponent willing to trade on the feet.
Sitting just outside the top 10 at number 14, a convincing win in Macau would carry meaningful rankings implications for Menifield as he looks to re-establish himself among the division's upper tier.
