Ming Shi scored an all-time knockout in the strawweight division on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 248 to win the “Road to UFC” tournament.
In the third round of her matchup with Xiaocan Feng (10-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at Galaxy Arena in Macau, Shi (17-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) lined up a beautiful right head kick that connected square to 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 happy about her victory, Shi said her concern went around the safety of Feng.
“I feel really happy and I worry about my opponent,” Shi said in her post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. “I hope she is OK. She is young. … I think I’m going to be a dangerous opponent in the future. Good luck to my next opponent.”
