LAS VEGAS – A knockout was his goal, but that doesn’t mean Alonzo Menifield felt comfortable once he pulled it off.
At UFC Fight Night 212, Menifield (13-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) brutally knocked out Misha Cirkunov (15-9 MMA, 6-7 UFC) with a series of punches. The stoppage came 68 seconds into the bout.
“The feeling was great, but I was concerned about him,” Menifield told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at a post-fight news conference Saturday. “You hear him huffing and puffing, ‘Ahh … ahh.’ I’m looking, like, ‘OK, he’s not getting up.’ I was concerned. He got up, so I was able to enjoy fully that feeling.”
