UFC Shanghai went down yesterday (Sat., Aug. 23, 2025) inside Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China, which saw Johnny Walker defeat Mingyang Zhang via technical knockout in round two (see it again here).

Walker (22-9, 1 NC), the explosive Brazilian striker, survived a particularly hairy opening round before attacking the calves of Zhang (19-7) with a series of hard kicks that dropped him in Round 2. A flurry of punches from Walker followed until referee Marc Goddard stopped the bout at 2:37 inside Shanghai Indoor Stadium.

Tonight's UFC Fight Night looks to inject some ferocious Chinese talent into the light heavyweight division. Prolific finisher Mingyang Zhang has ended all 19 of his wins inside the first round, and standing in the way of a top spot in the 205 division is perennial contender Johnny Walker.
