Due to technical problems on the official channel, the live broadcast of UFC Shanghai, which will have Johnny Walker x Zhang Mingyang in the main fight and Michael Pereira also in action, it will take place on a new temporary YouTube channel.
In the main fight, Johnny Walker tries to end the 'Brazilian curse' and become the first athlete from the country to win a 'main event' in 2025.

So far, all nine Brazilians scheduled for main event fights this year have ended up losing. Among them, big names like Alex Poatán e Charles of the Bronx. To end such a fate, Johnny Walker will have to overcome the Chinese knockout artist Mingyang Zhang, undefeated in the UFC.
The only Brazilian, besides Johnny Walker, scheduled for the UFC Shanghai, Michael Pereira also has a mission to find his way back to victory. At 31, the 'Flying Paraense' has suffered two consecutive losses, ending a winning streak that lasted eight fights.
The opponent this time will be the North American Kyle Daukaus, who returns to the organization three years after being released, to replace the Brazilian Marcus Tullius weeks in advance.
