I Want to Test Myself: Chinese KO Artist Mingyang Challenges Former UFC Champ Prochazka

Chinese UFC light heavyweight fighter Zhang Mingyang shared his plans after his victory over American Anthony Smith at UFC on ESPN 66.

Zhang Mingyang, quoted by Sportskeeda
Next fight, I want Jiri Prochazka. I watched your fight in Singapore, and you won your battle in that fight. I like your style. I respect your warrior spirit. Now, although you are not champion anymore but I would like to fight you, to test myself

To recall, on April 27, in Kansas City, Zhang defeated Smith by technical knockout in the first round.

Smith previously entered the octagon in December 2024 at UFC 310, losing to Dominick Reyes by technical knockout in the second round. He has a record of 38 wins and 22 losses.

Mingyang's last fight was in November 2024 at UFC Fight Night 248, where he won against Ozzy Diaz by technical knockout in the first round. He now holds a record of 19 wins and six losses.
