For all of the hype surrounding first-round knockout artist and Chinese light heavyweight prospect Zhang Mingyang, all it took was a second-round rally from the always unpredictable Johnny Walker to provide a heat check during Saturday's UFC Fight Night main event in Shanghai.

Johnny Walker spoiled the homecoming of China's Zhang Mingyang.

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.
