Walker and Zhang headline UFC's return to Shanghai, with Brian Ortega vs. Aljamain Sterling in the co-main event

On Saturday night, Brian Ortega and Aljamain Sterling are now set to compete at a catchweight of 153 pounds. Despite the promotion’s call to move the bout to being closer to a lightweight contest than a featherweight one, fans were still concerned for Ortega after he stepped on the scales.

The UFC's August schedule is capped with an international trip to China for a Fight Night installment featuring former champions, title challengers, and contenders working their way up the title ladder in their respective ways.

Fight week drama is nothing new in the UFC, but this one had fans holding their breath. Brian Ortega was set to meet former bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling in Shanghai this weekend, a five-round featherweight clash that promised fireworks.

Inconsistent results have left Brian Ortega in a state of limbo within the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division, stuck somewhere between contender and gatekeeper.

UFC Shanghai nearly turned disastrous Thursday night (Friday in China) as former UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling and former UFC Featherweight challenger Brian Ortega were set to weigh in for their co-main event for Saturday's UFC Fight Night.
