Before the fans had the chance to settle down, the fight was already over. ‘Atomic’ Menifield took less than a couple of minutes to knock the lights off his opponent. Further, this knockout loss might have put the curtails down on the Canadian fighter’s MMA career.
What happened in the fight?
Alonzo Menifield entered the Octagon as the favorite, and rightly so because of his thunderous knockout punches. The American even entered the bout as a favorite on the betting cards. While the future looked bright for the ‘Atomic’, Misha Cirkunov is in the twilight years of his career.

Literally the one way Menifield could win. That’s a retirement fight for Cirkunov. Took one (1) full punch and fell over.
Just doesn’t have the chin anymore. Damn. #UFCVegas62

Well Alonzo Menifield just crushed Misha Cirkunov with an absolutely devastating knockout and he landed like four more shots after Cirkunov was done.#UFCVegas62

I feel like the UFC keeps bad fighters around just so they can get KTFO by (slightly) better fighters. Cool KOs to watch but kinda sad #UFCvegas62
