Alonzo Menifield spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Vinicius Moreira at UFC on ESPN+ 1. Menifield told the site that while it may be a longer fight than it otherwise would be, he doesn’t plan on going to the ground.

“No one wants to see people rolling around,” he said. “No disrespect to jiu-jitsu, but we come here to fight, and I’m pretty sure everyone wants to see that.”

The show takes place on Saturday in Brooklyn, New York.
