Mingyang Zhang feels adjusted to the pressure of fighting at home and is focused on enjoying the process and the fight itself. Zhang holds a 19-6 record and enters UFC Shanghai on a three-fight UFC winning streak. A victory over #13 Johnny Walker could move Zhang into the top ten and accelerate his pursuit of a title. The stated long-term goal is to become China's first male UFC champion, with full commitment despite acknowledging a difficult road. Zhang expresses interest in a matchup with Jiri Prochazka and contrasts Prochazka's 'Samurai' style with his traditional Chinese martial arts approach.
The more fights I put on more people can know me. I would like to become China's first male UFC champion. That is my goal. I know that it is a tough road, a bumpy road, but I know what I have to do and I know what my goal is. Now I have burnt all my boats so let's all expect what we can get from this game,
I understand that there are a lot of stories online between us and I like that. More people can know our names. I like his style that is the Samurai or the Japanese warrior. I am the style of traditional Chinese martial artist. I would be very interested to fight him.
It's true that I'm under a lot of pressure, but I have adjusted in my mind. Now I'm enjoying the process and the fight itself more. I believe that everything will come naturally to me,
