As he lunged forward, Saint Preux simply went back and let loose a ruthless left hand that sent Menifield collapsing to the canvas with the referee quickly rushing into stop the fight.

Ovince Saint Preux scored a walk-off knockout that hell never ever forget in the UFC Vegas 9 co-main event.
After exchanging strikes with Alonzo Menifield for the better part of two rounds, the former University of Tennessee football player detonated a perfectly timed counter left hand that blasted his opponent and sent him crashing face very first to the canvas. No more strikes were needed after that as Saint Preux took pleasure in looking at his workmanship with completion coming 4:07 into the 2nd round.
In the early going it was Menifield swinging for a knockout behind every punch as he went head hunting for Saint Preux throughout the opening round. In spite of his conditioning backfiring in his previous battle, Menifield was still happy to toss with incredible force while following Saint Preux in the exchanges on the feet.
While Saint Preux needed to be wary of the punches coming at him, he was countering with solid kicks to the body and just remaining patient with his jab while trying Menifield.
” Lets attempt next week,” Saint Preux stated about booking his next battle. “Im trying to get another battle this year.”
