Ming Shi scores an insane head kick KO

Ming Shi scored an all-time knockout in the strawweight division at UFC Fight Night 248 on Saturday to win the ‘Road to UFC’ tournament.

In the third round of her match with Xiaocan Feng (10-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at the Galaxy Arena in Macau, Shi (17-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) lined up a beautiful right head kick that squared with the jaw and led to the highlight finish.

Feng was down for several minutes after the knockout and was taken out of the octagon on a stretcher. Although she was happy with her victory, Shi said her concerns were for Feng’s safety.

“I feel very happy and I’m worried about my opponent,” Shi said in her post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. ‘I hope she’s doing well. She’s young. … I think I will become a dangerous opponent in the future. Good luck to my next opponent.”

Shortly after the fight, UFC commentator John Gooden offered an update on Feng’s condition (via X):
