Alonzo Menifield is just 3 fights into his very young UFC career. Menifield was a DWCS standout from 2018 that has looked like a strong prospect ever since. Both Menifield’s fights on the Contender Series, like all of his UFC fights thus far was at light heavyweight. Though Menifield lost a unanimous decision in his last fight against Devin Clark, the first of his career, he will look to get back in the win column just a couple months later.

For UFC Vegas 7, Menifield will be stepping up to heavyweight for just the second time in his career and for the first time since his professional MMA debut. Menifield will take on another light heavyweight transfer in Ovince St. Preux.
