Longtime Members Of The Fight Game’s Upper Crust Square Off In The Co-Main Event At UFC Fight Night: Walker vs Zhang
While light heavyweight knockout artists top the bill in UFC’s return to Shanghai, the co-main event arguably bears the higher name value between arguably the greatest bantamweight champion in UFC history and a two-time title challenger who are both desperate to get some traction in the featherweight title picture.
Aljamain Sterling and Brian Ortega head into their bout on August 23 looking to stay within striking distance of a title shot. In a way, timing is on their side as Alexander Volkanovski is likely to defend his recaptured title against Lerone Murphy in the coming months after Murphy turned in a stunning knockout win over Aaron Pico at UFC 319.
