UFC Macau: Zhang Mingyang vs. Alonzo Menifield: Prediction

My prediction is a TKO/KO win for Zhang over Menifield because even though they’re equally heavy hitters, the aggression and pressure of Zhang will make Menifield uncomfortable. This will lead to unnecessary shots, making him more open to counters.

One of Zhang’s biggest weaknesses is the leg kicks, which were exposed during his previous fight, where he was stopped in the second round. But Menifield isn’t a heavy kicker and only relies on his lethal counterpunches.

Menifield doesn’t throw combinations against his opponents. Instead, he loads up on his punches, fires them, and hopes to land them. With Zhang’s discipline and tight guard, I think Menifield won’t be able to connect his signature haymaker.
