UFC Fight Night: Ovince St. Preux vs Alonzo Menifield

The former challenger in ‘OSP’ has faced a gauntlet of top competitors in his storied tenure with the organization. However, he has failed to pick up continuous momentum as of late and thus has struggled to find his footing. Additionally, his recent bump up to heavyweight against Big Ben Rothwell didn’t go according to plan.

His affinity for securing crucial Von Flue chokes and being able to maintain top pressure has been the ace up his sleeve. However, he will have to manage his distance against the fierce striker in Menifield and defend intelligently, He has abandoned his former strategy for safe defense in favor of flashy power shots.

The 9-1 fighter in Alonzo Menifield has shown great promise in his nascent professional MMA career. The Dallas native has explosive power in both hands and is a master of pushing a good forward pressure. Additionally, he has earned finishes in 9 of his 10 performances proving that he is no slouch on the ground either.

His sole losing effort against Devin Clark exposed certain holes in his game that ‘OSP’ will look to exploit. Alonzo tends to become overzealous when chasing a finish and drops his guard at different intervals of the fight. This could open a window of opportunity for St. Preux to shoot in a blast double leg or effectively counter.

Prediction: Ovince St. Preux to claim a unanimous decision victory.
