Overview
- Alonzo Menifield stopped Zhang Mingyang by TKO at 4:15 of the first round in the co‑main event, a result that surprised fans and bettors during the Saturday night card in Macau.
- The win moved Menifield’s record to 18‑7‑1 overall and 11‑6‑1 in the UFC and prompted him to publicly call for a top‑10 light‑heavyweight opponent.
- Zhang fell to 19‑8 and has now suffered consecutive stoppage losses, a slide that places his fast rise and roster standing under immediate question.
- Song Yadong closed the show by submitting former champion Deiveson Figueiredo in the main event, and reports say the co‑main bout earned both fighters $100,000 Fight of the Night payouts.
- UFC Macau’s string of finishes and high‑profile setbacks for Chinese fighters magnified the card’s consequences by altering contender ladders and creating clear matchmaking paths for winners such as Menifield, Song and heavyweight Sergei Pavlovich.
