The stock rise and fall on Mingyang is crazy. People were convinced he was an absolute beast at this weight class but a few leg kicks from Johnny Walker later and now you are questioning if he can beat a 40 year old Alonzo Menifield or not. He should win here, he is faster and at this point, more powerful. I do question his own durability and what happens if the fight goes long, but Alonzo can be slept and Mingyang has melatonin in his hands…

Mingyang Zhang

Mingyang Zhang is a dangerous fighter who can find finishes on the feet or on the ground. He has raw power in his strikes and has no problem looking to mix it up on the feet then before closing the distance and working these fights to the ground. He has an excellent 100% finish rate split between KOs and submissions but 80% of those were on the ground. He can be sloppy at times but will continue moving forward. Unless of course it was like his last fight where he had his legs chopped out and was then finished.

Alonzo Menifield

At this point in his career Alonzo Menifield is an aging vet with lingering power. Typically he has great takedown defense and is always looking to take your head off with each punch. His striking can be wild and sloppy, but the power is undeniable. When Alonzo is coming forward and being the aggressor, he is a very dangerous guy but you can't always trust his decision making or his chin. He is coming off the first round KO loss to Volkan Ozedemir.
