Headlining was home star Zhang Mingyang, who had hoped to advance his title ambitions against light heavyweight veteran Johnny Walker. Instead, the favorite suffered a brutal loss in front of his compatriots, as Walker finished Mingyang via TKO in round two.

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.

On Saturday night, Brian Ortega and Aljamain Sterling are now set to compete at a catchweight of 153 pounds. Despite the promotion’s call to move the bout to being closer to a lightweight contest than a featherweight one, fans were still concerned for Ortega after he stepped on the scales.

Johnny Walker upset the odds today, scoring an upset knockout victory over China's own Mingyang Zhang in their UFC Shanghai main event.
