With ‘Lionheart’ lying in a pool of his own blood, Jason Herzog stepped in and called a stop to the fight as Zhang continued to just brutalize him with elbows. Although at one point Walker was regarded as a potential future champion in the 205lb division, there is a chance that he is fighting for his job at UFC Shanghai.

The speed of Zhang's rise hasn't only been a surprise outside of China, but to the man himself. Before landing this Walker matchup, Zhang retired one-time UFC title challenger Anthony Smith with a first-round stoppage at UFC Kansas City in April.

The ‘Mountain Tiger’ Zhang Mingyang will aim to continue his epic winning run when he faces Johnny Walker in the light heavyweight main event of a UFC Fight Night, set for the Shanghai Indoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
