Feng Xiaocan faced Shi Ming during the preliminary fights in a hard-fought three-round battle. Ming closely contested the first two rounds but turned the tide in the third with a devastating head-kick knockout. The impact was so severe that officials rushed Xiaocan to the hospital after the brutal loss.
Shi Ming’s head kick victory was nothing short of dramatic, leaving Feng Xiaocan unconscious and raising concerns among spectators. The two Chinese fighters squared off in the ‘Road to UFC’ tournament finale, featured on the undercard of UFC Macau.
