Alonzo Menifield secured a split decision victory against Julius Walker at UFC Seattle, ending a two-fight losing streak, but suffered a significant foot injury during the match.
Alonzo Menifield snagged a win at UFC Seattle, but it came at a hefty price. Ouch! He kicked off the main card against Julius Walker, a newcomer to the scene. Menifield secured a split decision victory, breaking his two-fight losing streak.
But wait, there’s more. After the fight, UFC CEO Dana White shared a gnarly photo of Menifield’s foot injury. Trust me, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Check out White’s Instagram story if you dare.
Menifield had an impressive run in 2022 and 2023, going unbeaten in five fights. Three of those were stoppage wins against notable opponents like Jimmy Crute and Misha Cirkunov. However, 2024 was less kind, with knockout losses to Carlos Ulberg and Azamat Murzakanov.
For this camp, Menifield returned to Fortis MMA, hoping to reignite his winning ways. Seems like it worked! Meanwhile, Walker faced his first career loss after six consecutive wins. Yet, both fighters walked away with $50,000 bonuses for their electrifying Fight of the Night performance.
So there you have it—triumphs and trials in the octagon!
