Dustin Jacoby (19-7-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) will look to make it two in a row when he fights fellow striker Alonzo Menifield (14-3-1 MMA, 7-3-1 UFC) at UFC 296 on Dec. 16.

“I think Alonzo Menifield is a dangerous opponent for sure,” Jacoby told MMASucka. “He’s explosive. He’s got a lot of power. I’ve got to be on my A-game when it comes to that. I can’t be standing straight in front of him. I need to be moving.”

Jacoby plans to implement his usual stick-and-move game plan, which he said he enjoys doing.
