FightIQ Verdict
"Iwo Baraniewski is an explosive, high-output striker with a 100% finishing rate who is currently overwhelming the division. While Alonzo Menifield brings the seasoning of veteran UFC bouts, his recent history of being knocked out early makes him a high-risk liability against a power-puncher like Baraniewski."
Everyone focuses on Menifield's veteran experience, but misses that his defensive stats (51% striking defense) have consistently failed him against power strikers like Carlos Ulberg and Azamat Murzakanov; against a fighter with Baraniewski's 11.35 significant strikes per minute, this is a dangerous stylistic mismatch.
Why FightIQ Likes Baraniewski
Baraniewski: 11.35 sig-strikes/min, 57% accuracy
