Why Alonzo Menifield
Matchup: Alonzo Menifield (Alonzo Menifield) versus Iwo Baraniewski (Iwo Baraniewski). Menifield receives a narrow raw edge because his documented counter-and-combination responses provide the clearest supported open-space denial mechanism against Baraniewski's exchange-heavy access. Menifield also has 18 recorded UFC bouts versus Baraniewski's three, although exposure alone does not prove superior skill.
