  • Lack of proven wrestling or ground threat from Walker
Write-up

Zhang Mingyang's striking output (9.23 SLPM at 57% accuracy) is significantly higher and more accurate than Johnny Walker's, and Zhang absorbs more but defends at a higher rate. Walker's durability has been questionable against powerful strikers, and Zhang's aggressive style and finishing instinct are likely to exploit that. Walker's grappling is not a consistent path and Zhang has shown strong offensive pressure.
