UFC Fight Night 257 takes place this coming Saturday in Shanghai, China and we’ve got the full card for you below.
In the main event Johnny Walker comes in off two back-to-back KO losses to fight Zhang Mingyang, who will enjoy the home advantage as he looks to build on three first round victories in the UFC by strikes so far.
Brian Ortega went 1-1 last year and now fights for the first time in 2025 against former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, who posted the same 1-1 record in 2024 after moving up to featherweight.
Sergei Pavlovich shook off back-to-back defeats with a decision win early in the year and now fights the in-form Waldo Cortes-Acosta, who is on a five-fight winning streak.
A split-decision win in March ended a three-fight losing slump for Su Mudaerji and now he’ll try to build on that against Kevin Borjas, who lost his first two fights in the Octagon, but did pick up a unanimous decision win last time out.
China’s own Taiyilake Nueraji makes his UFC debut on the main card wielding an 11-1 career record and will be fighting Ireland’s Kiefer Crosbie, who has been submitted in both his fights for the promotion so far.
