Two notable fights have been added to the UFC Fight night 277 event in Macau, China on May 30th, with Sergei Pavlovich set to fight Tallison Teixeira in a heavyweight clash, while Zhang Mingyang goes up against Alonzo Menifield at light-heavyweight.

Pavlovich enjoyed a solid 2025 campaign, earning unanimous decision victories over both Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Waldo Cortes-Acosta to rise back up to No.3 in the heavyweight rankings.

Despite that progress, the 33-year-old Pavlovich isn’t facing another leading contender next, and instead will be going up against the 26-year-old Teixeira, who is currently ranked No.11.

Tallison only arrived in the UFC last year, earning a TKO victory over Justin Tafa in his promotional debut. However, he was then TKO’d by Derrick Lewis in just 35 seconds, though he has since rebounded with a unanimous decision victory over Tai Tuivasa last month.

China’s own Zhang Mingyang made a strong start to his UFC run with three victories in a row all coming inside the first round via strikes.

However, the 27-year-old Mingyang is now coming off a TKO loss to Johnny Walker last August that’s left him just hanging on to the No.15 spot on the 205lb ladder.

Now he’ll be going up against the 38-year-old Alonzo Menifield, who suffered a KO loss in his last Octagon outing in November, after having earned back-to-back victories earlier in the year.

These two new fights join a UFC Macau card that will be headlined by a bantamweight fight between Song Yadong and Deiveson Figueiredo.
