Volkan Oezdemir vs Alonzo Menifield - AI generated fight pick

Volkan Oezdemir is a proven top-10 light heavyweight with a strong history against high-level competition, and he has a slight edge in technical striking, durability, and experience at the elite level. Oezdemir's significant strike defense (55%) and takedown defense (80%) are both slightly better than Menifield's, which are key factors against Menifield's explosive but sometimes wild offense. Oezdemir also has more first-round finishes and has shown he can compete and win in longer, tougher fights, whereas Menifield's losses have come against top-15 competition, often by KO/TKO. While Menifield is dangerous early and has more pure KO power, Oezdemir's ability to weather storms and win decisions or late stoppages gives him the edge, especially since fighters with similar profiles to Oezdemir (age, reach, style, and experience) have historically performed well against heavy-handed but less technical opponents like Menifield.
