Johnny Walker faces Mingyang Zhang in the main event of UFC Fight Night on Saturday, August 23, live from Shanghai Indoor Stadium in Shanghai, China. The pair square off in a five-round bout at light heavyweight.
33-year-old Walker (21-9, 1 NC) of Brazil looks to bounce back from two last year’s knockout defeats to Volkan Oezdemir and Magomed Ankalaev. China’s 27-year-old Mingyang (19-6) aims for his 13th win in a row, following a first-round stoppage victory over Anthony Smith at UFC Kansas City in April.
The co-main event features a 153-pound catchweight bout between Brian Ortega (16-4, 1 NC) of Los Angeles, CA, and former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (24-5) of Uniondale, NY. Also on the card is a heavyweight bout between Sergei Pavlovich (19-3) and Waldo Cortes-Acosta (14-1) of the Dominican Republic.
A flyweight contest pits China’s Su Mudaerji (17-7) against Kevin Borjas (10-3) of Peru. The main card opener is a welterweight showdown between Taiyilake Nueraji (11-1) of China and Kiefer Crosbie (10-5) of Ireland.
