UFC Shanghai featured the first Brazilian to win a headliner this year, a sketchy catchweight affair that should have stayed on the shelf and a man with a special mullet punching his way through flyweight.

For all of the hype surrounding first-round knockout artist and Chinese light heavyweight prospect Zhang Mingyang, all it took was a second-round rally from the always unpredictable Johnny Walker to provide a heat check during Saturday's UFC Fight Night main event in Shanghai.

Mingyang Zhang vs. Johnny Walker squared off in a Light Heavyweight contest earlier tonight (Sat. Aug. 23, 2025) live on ESPN+ inside Shanghai Indoor Stadium in Shanghai, China. In a wild fight, Walker secured the knockout win.
