Alonzo Menifield Hands Oumar Sy First Career Loss at UFC Atlanta

Dawgs Don’t Bark. They Bite. 🐾
At UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Usman in Atlanta, Alonzo Menifield proved once again that experience and grit can derail hype.
Facing the undefeated Oumar Sy, a fast-rising light heavyweight with a perfect 11–0 record, Menifield entered as the underdog. But by the end of three hard-fought rounds, it was Sy’s streak that was left in pieces — and Menifield who had his hand raised.
Composure Over Chaos
From the opening bell, Menifield worked behind effective leg kicks and smart range control. He didn’t rush, didn’t overextend — instead, he waited for Sy to initiate and then punished him on the counter.
Sy had moments of pressure, but every time he tried to turn up the pace, Menifield met him with a stiff jab or calf kick. The veteran also nullified Sy’s takedown attempts, showing poise in the clinch and keeping the fight where he wanted it.
A Dawg with Bite
This wasn’t a flashy KO or submission. It was a clinic in veteran control, and the judges rewarded it with a unanimous decision.
For bettors and fight fans, this was a prime dawg value win — and for us at OddDawgz, another bark that turned into a bite.
Final Result:
Alonzo Menifield def. Oumar Sy via unanimous decision (29-28 x3)
Why This Dawg Barked Loud:
-
Sy was undefeated and heavily favored due to hype, not UFC experience.
-
Menifield used leg kicks, octagon control, and composure to dismantle the rising star.
-
Experience matters — and this dawg had more than enough bite left.
