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.

The light heavyweight bout was scheduled for five rounds, but they all were not needed. Walker (21-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) finished Zhang (19-6 MMA, 3-0 UFC) with a violent and diversified beatdown barrage for the stoppage at 2:37 of Round 2.
