Zhang Mingyang is coming for one more spotlight reel knockout.
After profitable a first-round end in three straights inside the Octagon, “Mountain Lion” is about to win the most important victory of his profession at UFC Shanghai this Saturday. Competing in his personal yard, Chan fights Brazilian bruiser Johnny Walker and squares in a battle that’s assured to really ship fireworks if it lasts for a very long time.
Earlier this week, Walker refused to supply predictions about how issues will unfold, noting that the winner will merely turn out to be the primary fighter to land.
Chan plans to be that fighter.
“The combat in my hometown motivates me rather a lot,” he mentioned at UFC Shanghai Media Day. “I need to work properly for Chinese language followers and present the very best. I am assured, however I will stay humble. I do know this combat is troublesome, however I am able to tackle the problem.”
Zhang Mingyang will go to his twentieth first spherical end at UFC Shanghai
Zhang, who will likely be taking over the looks of the fourth promotion, boasting a file of 19-6, has earned 13 profession costumes to credit score, together with a fast end towards Blendson Ribeiro, Ozzy Diaz and Anthony “Lionheart” Smith.
Maybe much more spectacular is that each one of Zhang’s 19 profession victories got here within the first spherical. It is a pattern he’s attempting to proceed towards the struggling Walker.
“I cannot chase the primary spherical end in each earlier battle,” Min Yang instructed MMA Junkie in a postwar interview. “I’ve all the time ready for a three- or five-round battle. However when you step into the cage, when the battle begins, in the event you see a gap or gap from the enemy, you will catch it.”
