look to make a statement in the featured slot, and there are some interesting prospects further down the card. Recent headlinerpairs off two high-upside lightweights. Everything else is matched for an acceptable level of violence, so this should serve as an entertaining appetizer to a strong main draw.Menifield’s last bout didn’t go particularly well, so it’s nice to see him step in for a quick turnaround to try and erase that last impression.
Murzakanov took a particularly long road to his first UFC fight. Initially signed by the promotion in 2017, “The Professional” failed a drug test and wound back on the regionals before getting another contract four years later. Murzakanov’s approach doesn’t look particularly impressive at first, but he has lived up to his undefeated record inside the UFC.
