Watch Shi Ming deliver an insane knockout at UFC Macau while the opponent is stretched

Shi Ming’s Road to UFC win won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

After two rounds of struggling to beat the taller Feng Xiaocan, Shi scored an incredible third-round knockout to become the first Road to UFC strawweight tournament winner. Shi earns a contract with victory at Saturday’s UFC Macau show.

Watch the video of the KO below.

After the knockout, Feng remained on the canvas for several minutes. She was eventually carried out of the octagon on a stretcher.

Later in the broadcast, commentator John Gooden provided an update on Feng’s status. Feng later responded in the ambulance as she was taken to hospital for a CT scan as a precaution. She could move her limbs, although she didn’t know what was happening. The plan is for Feng to return home when she is released from the hospital, otherwise a member of the UFC medical staff will stay with her until her situation improves.

Heading into this match, Shi gave up five inches of height and six inches of reach to Feng and that disparity played out in real time. Although Feng didn’t put Shi in any major danger in the first ten minutes, she appeared to be on her way to a decisive victory if Shi didn’t turn things around in the third.

And Shi put it on, ramping up the aggression and firing the fateful head kick that immediately put Feng on the ground. The official time of the stoppage was 0:46 in round 3.

Shi improved to 17-5 as a pro and has now won 11 of her past 12 fights. In her post-fight interview, she said she was worried about Feng and hoped she is doing well.
