Fight Plan: Alonzo Menifield

A coach-ready game plan — historical weaknesses opponents have exploited and what to drill in camp.

Historical Weaknesses
  • Gas tank often fades significantly after the first 7 minutes
  • Reflexive defense can become static when hurt (leaves chin exposed)
  • Slow volume when forced into a distance kickboxing match
Camp Focus
  • Constant lateral movement to break their rhythm
  • High-pace pressure in rounds 2–3 to drain output
  • Set traps for the overhand — chin has been tested
  • Stack southpaw sparring partners in camp

Scouting Summary

Alonzo Menifield is a powerful, physically imposing light heavyweight with legitimate one-punch knockout power and a surprising submission threat via the Von Flue choke. While he has improved his patience and veteran savvy under Fortis MMA, his primary game still revolves around finding a finish in the first two rounds before his cardio begins to diminish.
