Johnny Walker
Johnny Walker returned to the win column as he pulled off a big upset at UFC Shanghai on Saturday.
Walker struggled in round one as he was taken down, and Mingyang was able to land more damaging shots. However, in the second round, Walker began using leg kicks, which ended up dropping Mingyang, and the Brazilian landed some ground-and-pound shots to end the fight.
Following the win, Walker called out Jan Blachowicz, and that fight makes a lot of sense. Walker vs Blachowicz could headline a Fight Night card later this year or in early 2026. Or, it could be on the main card of a numbered event to add some fireworks early on. The winner would likely get a top-five opponent.
