In an interview with MMA Junkie, Alonzo Menifield spoke about his quick TKO win over Shawn Boatwright at Dana White’s Contender Series 9. Here are highlights:

On the support of his family and friends: “Seeing their reaction, my wife and my coach, and just knowing the people that support me, it means a lot, thinking where I came from.”

On wanting to do well in UFC: “I’m ready to get in there and fight, battle, and prove to myself and fans that I belong in the UFC.”
