The highly anticipated matchup between Alonzo Menifield and Carlos Ulberg in the light heavyweight division is still confirmed. However, the date of the bout has been rescheduled.
Originally set to take place on March 30 in Atlantic City, N.J., the fight will now be part of the UFC Fight Night event on May 11.
According to sources familiar with the situation, Menifield (15-3-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) is currently enjoying one of the most successful periods of his career, having won four out of his last five fights. His most recent victory came at UFC 296 in December, where he emerged triumphant in an exhilarating striking battle against Dustin Jacoby.
Ulberg (9-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) has also been on an impressive winning streak, securing five consecutive victories after a disappointing debut in the UFC against Kennedy Nzechukwu. His recent wins include notable names such as Fabio Cherant, Tafon Nchukwi, Nicolae Negumereanu, Ihor Potieira, and Da Un Jung.
As a result of this change, the UFC Fight Night card scheduled for May 11 now features the following bouts:
