A light heavyweight matchup between Contender Series alums is targeted for February.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Alonzo Menifield and William Knight is targeted to take place at the UFC’s event on Feb. 27. As of now, a location has not been revealed for the fight card.
MMA Junkie was first to report the booking.
After picking up consecutive first-round finishes of Vinicius Moreira and Paul Craig to begin his UFC tenure, Menifield looks to bounce back from the first losing skid of his career.
