“The Warrior” Zhang Lipeng

Zhang Lipeng is one of the most prolific MMA fighters to come out of the martial arts hotbed of China. 

“The Warrior” was born in Inner Mongolia and started his training in Beijing in 2008 before turning professional the next year. 

He quickly established himself on the local fight circuit and, after a 15-fight run, had a successful stint competing in North America. 

Returning to Asia in 2015, Zhang went on a rampage through the competition in China. He compiled a 22-2-1 record with an incredible 18 finishes and won multiple titles over a five-year period.  

It was simply a matter of time before an opportunity to compete in ONE Championship came along for the ultra-talented lightweight. 

Zhang signed with the world’s largest martial arts organization in 2021, and he instantly repaid the promotion’s good faith with an impressive unanimous decision win over former ONE Lightweight MMA World Champion Eduard Folayang at ONE: BATTLEGROUND II.
