Wes Mena is making a name for himself in the heavyweight division after delivering another devastating knockout victory at Power Slap XI in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Facing Devin Jenkins, Mena once again backed up his words with his fists, proving he’s here to stay among the division’s elite.
Now with back-to-back wins on live cards, Mena is solidifying himself as a legitimate threat—and he’s just getting started.
Manifesting Victory – Confidence Backed by Hard Work
From the moment Mena stepped onto the stage in Riyadh, he knew exactly what he had to do. Leading up to the fight, he was clear about his confidence in securing the win.
“Honestly, it’s just the work I put in behind the scenes. I have that mentality where anything I put my mind to, I can accomplish. My whole life, I’ve been backed into a wall, and I’ve always made a way. That resilience is what drives me.”
That relentless mindset paid off as Mena delivered a perfectly placed slap that turned the lights out on Jenkins.
“It wasn’t the prettiest slap—I hit the target, but I know I can make it cleaner. I’ll go back, watch the tape, and keep improving. But overall, great performance. I’m happy, and it’s been a great ride.”
Rankings Shake-Up – Where Does Mena Stand?
Mena entered Power Slap XI as the No. 10-ranked heavyweight, but with another KO win under his belt, he’s ready to move further up the rankings.
“Wherever they put me, I’m going to keep racking up these wins and these KOs. I want to climb lower in the rankings and get to that belt. Whether I’m top seven, eight—it doesn’t matter. I’m grateful for this opportunity, and I’m just getting started.”
At this point, the heavyweight division can’t ignore him. Coming out of Road to the Title Season Three, some may have overlooked him, but Mena’s knockout power and precision are demanding attention.
“They can’t sleep on me anymore. Wes Mena is here to stay in this division.”
What’s Next? No Callouts, But the Work Continues
Unlike many fighters eager to call their next shot, Mena is letting Power Slap’s brass decide his next opponent. However, one thing is clear—he doesn’t want to wait long.
“I want to compete maybe in April, hopefully in Miami or something. I don’t want a long layoff. I want to compete as soon as I can because the ball is rolling, and I feel great. My confidence is through the roof because I’ve been putting in the work.”
One of the biggest factors in his continued growth and dominance? The Crazy Hawaiian.
“Honestly, I give credit to the Crazy Hawaiian. He’s been there every step of the way. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am now. He fine-tuned my game, and the work we do behind the scenes really shows.”
Final Thoughts – A Rising Star in the Heavyweight Division
With another electrifying KO victory, Mena is proving that he’s not just a prospect—he’s a real contender.
His dedication, training, and confidence are putting the heavyweight division on notice, and if he gets another shot in April, fans can expect fireworks once again.
