Menifield Set to Face Baraniewski as Underdog at UFC 331

Alonzo Menifield is scheduled to compete against Iwo Baraniewski at UFC 331 on September 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Menifield, 38, is considered the underdog with odds of minus-250, despite winning three of his last four fights.

Baraniewski, a 27-year-old judoka from Poland, has achieved knockout victories over all three of his UFC opponents in under four minutes combined. His rapid finishes have raised questions about his endurance, as he has yet to fight beyond the first round in the Octagon.

Menifield's strategy may involve utilizing his wrestling skills to extend the fight and test Baraniewski's stamina. Betting odds reflect the expectation of an early conclusion, with Baraniewski's knockout prop set at minus-130 and Menifield's decision odds at plus-750.
