- Chinese fights have been trickling into the UFC for years, but have never had a fighter above 170lbs from China. That all changes at UFC 298 when Zhang Mingyang makes his UFC debut. I’m giving you everything you want to know about the Chinese light heavyweight, including:
⭐️ Evaluating his pre-UFC record
⭐️ What to watch for in his UFC debut
⭐️ Why he could have an easier time becoming a superstar than other light heavyweights.
Thanks for watching and subscribe to the channel for more like this!

I hope this guy can get a string of wins in the ufc 👍
Just gotta bring him along slowly through the division! Exciting abilities for sure.
1st round knockout 😮😮
All depends on the scripts 😂
As a Chinese UFC fan, thank you for caring about Chinese fighters👍
嗯嗯
How is life like in China for a foreign student bro ? Or more so how is life like there in general , I’m thinking of moving there as a student fro some studies . Big ufc fan too , please be honest bro would love an opinion from a native
@@zorlockts5744I was born there, moved to America at age 4, I went back for vacation and man it was mad fun.
watching ufc is cheap in China haha@@zorlockts5744
Depends on which province you go, I wouldn't go to Henan, Shandong etc. if I were you@@zorlockts5744
Awesome video and good prediction, new sub!
Haha it did work out pretty well this time, thanks a lot!
just watched a few of his fights and man this guy was sent from the just bleed gods. idk how far his style will take him but you can expect violence every time he fights. although i think the top guys in the division will expose his brawling style since he seems to not mind taking hits to give them.
Totally, a guy with 17 first round finishes is quickly a fan favorite, but anyone in the top 15 would have his number right now I think.
100 percent very correct predictions 👍
deserve more followers for sure, great introduction and great breakdown, keep it up!!!
BRO thank you!!!
Actually, there was a heavyweight Chinese fighter in the UFC before, named Hu Yaozong. I also really like Zhang Mingyang. If you observe Zhang's lower body and thighs, they are definitely the most muscular among all UFC fighters. His daily weight is around 115-120 kilograms. Currently, MMA is very niche in China, but with more and more talented fighters joining ONE and UFC, I believe MMA in China will become more and more popular.
Totally, thanks for the insight. I remember Hu! I think he joined the UFC too early. Maybe if he could have fought more on the regional scene beforehand, he would still be around.
you predicted exactly what happened.... great video to watch even after the game, thank you
China also has a top 5 heavyweight boxer in zhilei zhang
KO Parker
Totally, he’s a BEAST.
Big Bang Zhang.
Zhilei Bangs Everything 😁
Japan has the best p4p boxer (Inoue) next to Crawford. And Japan also has 3 other Japanese boxing champions in the lower weight divisions. All with a low & declining youth population that is 11.5 x less than China.
I just watched his fight at UFC 298, impressive KO in the first round.
He could be a huge star for China. Watching him closely
@@mmaecosystem Yes I believe so. He can take heavy punches and throw heavy punches as well.
Impressive kills. great athlete. Go mingyang!
Well done!
Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching. 🙏
He hits so damn hard
You called it. Great call
Crazy how that fight turned out!
Great stuff man. Subbed
Appreciate Robin! ✌️
Instant sub after 298 . Keep up the good work
I'm a New Fan of zhang mingyang
Would love to see Zhang fight Johnny Walker
YES let’s make it happen
super nice edit
✌️appreciate it!
China Power ❤
Accurate prediction!
That worked very well this time haha.
Dudes is a fucking beast!! #298 UFC
KO artist 💯💥🔥 he's awesome.
Great video and you know the upcoming MMA fighters 🤯, I had no idea until he smashed the Brazilian right now 😂
Good vid surprised at how low of views
Ah I’m not worried bout that! Thanks for the support bro ✌️
he's 185cm tall ,n fights at he's natural weight at 205 ,Light heavy weight. most of he's size fighter fought at middleweight or even welterweight. I said if he gets better camp n good nutrition fights a middle weight,he would be a bomb
I’ve wondered if he can make that drop too, it’s a big drop but maybe he can.
Very exciting fight on saturday, hope to see more from him
Really young guy for light heavyweight so it could be a long UFC career for him!
This guy has a crystal ball
Haha thanks. Zhang did amazing.
Spot on prediction! Does youtube allow creators to backdate their uploads :)
Haha if it did this account would be waaaay bigger 😅
great prediction. accurate
Thank you!
He got that K.O power but not much ground game.
Ya it’s sort of a mystery how good his ground game is. It’s definitely hard to develop it well when you never get to use it in a fight.
We need more Asian fighters in the UFC ecosystem
Absolutely!
Good breakdown
Thanks Gunnar!
Dang spot on. Can you tell me when to buy the lotto? Haha
Hahaha that was a weirdly accurate prediction. Trying to work through Song vs. Yan now but it’s much more complex.
He looks like the Yao Ming of MMA.
He’s definitely a huge dude!
He is also only 25 and given how low the standards are at LHW he could probably have a a good UFC run
I think so! As long as the UFC moves him along slowly through the bottom of the division.
May I ask what kind of standards they have and does running low mean having easier opponents ? Thanks
The bad news for zhang is he got koed stiff by askhar mozarov the one who pads mma record
Defensively he’s got some holes, but they’ve also trained together since so maybe he fixed that one haha
Yes. When zhang is 19 years old. 😅
your research is impressive. how do you even find these regional fights to watch?
Haha thanks! Sooooo many hours in the Chinese internet.
wow this prediction...
I freaked out when it basically was exactly like I said haha. Doesn’t always happen but happy for the guy!
Mma should be huge in asia , they just need more time outside of japan and south korea .
It’ll definitely get there. Comparing to where it was 10 years ago- especially China and Indonesia- it’s so much bigger. Very ways to go still though!
Bro looks like asian paulo costa
Hahaha
Well you were right lol
阜阳老乡，牛逼
*Promo sm*
He needs to pipe down and earn his spot in the division.
They should automatically be dq’d from bonuses when they yell at Dana for it
Hahaha!
wow he dwarfed strickland at 3:32 i was about to say drop to middleweight
He was definitely a small heavyweight, but currently I bet he’d have to kill himself to get down to middleweight.
He will end up like every other Chinese fighter. Once he starts fighting actual contenders, he’ll start losing and disappear. None of this matters, he’s fighting unknown fighters. Watch and see 😉
Song Yadong, Zhang Weili, and Yan Xiaonan have done very well for themselves.
lol
He just knocked the fuk out of Brendson! Good job, Zhang!! 💪👍🏆🍻
Zhang gonna KO Parker too!
Occasionally found this page, very impressive! I am subscribing! Glad to see some one exclusively focusing on Asian mma culture, keep it up!
Thanks so much! Much more to come, hoping to spotlight a lot of Asian fighters.
Zhang Weili!!!!?
Qiu JianLiang is a proper beast! But hes in ONE
Man, thanks for the video, looking forward to this guy,
You and me both! Thanks for watching.✌️
Im a new fan of Zhang Mingyang. Hope the Mountain Tiger goes far ill be rooting for him
All the ingredients for a breakout star, now just has to keep winning!
Prediction on point lol! 👍 subbed!!!!
Thanks bro, appreciate ya!
He lost a few fights which means he aint that good.
I think he did hit a point where he took his training a lot more seriously, and his resources are way better now too. The jury is still out what his ceiling is.
he got KOed by that guy who faked his record to go in the ufc, that's pretty embarassing
Zhang has already beaten the juggernaut joyce, he is going to do the same to parker 😊
????
Thats boxing, this is ufc dude 😂
He is your Chinese paulo costa
Impressive research! Good job man.
New subscriber here🙌
Welcome welcome!!! ✌️
👏👏👏
Man you are an expert analyst, good job!
Thank you so much!! Just glad Zhang did the thing again! 😅
lol his quality of opponents suck. his last loss when his record was 7-5 was to a guy making his debut
Ya that’s why it was so hard to predict the fight, heavyweight in China has been a ghost town. Hopefully the UFC moves him along slowly.
