Alonzo Menifield

"Atomic". That's what they call Alonzo Menifield, and is ranked #14 at UFC light heavyweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.

This is power striking with numbers behind it — 11 KO/TKO wins, 3.84 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add a 76" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.

Last time out he beat Zhang Mingyang (KO/TKO (Punch) R1) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.

He's 38 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
