Insider info
Alonzo Menifield favored — picked against Zhang Mingyang lean UFC Fight Night: Song vs Figueiredo · May 26, 2026
Picked against with an explicit carve-out for a first-round knockout -- the analyst frames this fighter's only realistic win as a round-one finish.
If he wins, it's almost certainly by first-round knockout -- starts extremely fast, blitzes forward with a lot of power, and his elbows are brutal. Grappling is decent but not used offensively; his notable pattern is landing strikes, following an opponent to the ground, and finishing with a rear-naked choke specifically because the opponent turns over to escape ground and pound, not because of proactive jiu-jitsu -- a real, mechanically distinct pattern worth tracking precisely.
