UFC 331: Alonzo Menifield vs. Iwo Baraniewski: Prediction
I predict a TKO/KO win for Baraniewski over Menifield, as he’s the more technical and patient fighter. Both fighters can put opponents to sleep with one strike, but Baraniewski’s clinical approach will be the key difference.
Menifield is undoubtedly a vicious knockout artist, but he’s swinging wildly, which will open opportunities for Baraniewski to counter. Menifield also often tires himself out early because he puts too much power behind his strikes, and when he misses, it drains him.
Baraniewski can either play a counterstriker against Menifield or use his superior grappling to mix his attack and tire out Menifield by forcing him to defend takedowns. Either way, Baraniewski is the better fighter overall.
