Top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Chinese prospect Zhang Mingyang kicked off the UFC Macau main card this morning (Sat., Nov. 23, 2024) with yet another finish when he knocked out Ozzy Diaz in under three minutes from inside Galaxy Arena in Macau, SRA, China.
It was another quick night for the “Mountain Tiger.” While he played around with Diaz in the first minute, exchanging leg kicks, ultimately, a sneaky elbow dropped his opponent, and then he jumped on him with vicious ground and pound, halting the fight.

After the fight, Mingyang again called for a title fight with UFC Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and a money fight … Good luck with that.
Nevertheless, Mingyang, 26, has been absolutely violent in his two fights in the Octagon and is now riding an 11-fight win streak. He now has 18 wins with 18 first-round finishes.
Diaz, 34, who was making his UFC debut, had his two-fight win streak snapped and will need to go back to the drawing board for his next outing.
