Alonzo Menifield is scheduled to step into the octagon at UFC Macau on May 30, with the light heavyweight contender aiming to hold onto his spot in the divisional standings at Galaxy Arena in a card broadcast live on Paramount Plus.
Menifield, nicknamed "Atomic," carries a professional record of 17-6-1 and currently sits at number 14 in the light heavyweight rankings. The 38-year-old American trains out of Saekson Muay Thai and brings a well-rounded offensive game to the cage. Fighting out of an orthodox stance, he stands six feet tall with a 76-inch reach and lands strikes at a rate of 3.77 significant strikes per minute, doing so with an impressive 53 percent striking accuracy. His grappling output is measured, averaging 0.5 takedowns per 15 minutes, while submission attempts are relatively rare in his game.
Why it matters
- Menifield sits at No. 14 in the light heavyweight division, making every outing a direct referendum on his rankings standing
- A strong performance at UFC Macau could push him closer to the top ten in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions
- His combination of striking volume and accuracy makes him a genuine threat on the feet, and opponents will need to account for his reach advantage
