The worst knockout of the year in the UFC. The immobilized fighter was taken out of the “cage” on a stretcher. Video
The stands in Macau were silent after the incredible blow to the head.
The highlight of the UFC Fight Night 248 tournament was an unexpected fight from which no sparkling confrontation was particularly expected. But an incredibly scary knockout at the end of the fight first delighted the fans, and then silenced them.
A ticket to the UFC through knockout
Not all fighters currently competing in the UFC immediately received a contract with the promotion. Some had to fight in Dana White’s Challenger Series, while others made their way into the organization through the “Road to UFC” show.
In the final of the third season, Chinese women Feng Xiaokang and Shi Min fought in the women’s minimum weight category. Xiaokang tried to break into the UFC, having champion belts from the Legend FC and EPIC promotions behind her. Shi “Doctor” Ming also achieved great success in martial arts by the age of 30, mainly in kickboxing, where it is important to have good foot control.
The first two rounds, to put it mildly, were not full of spectacular events. The rivals acted carefully, and they can be understood, because a contract with the promotion was at stake. You can perhaps remember the end of the first five minutes, when Shi Min accurately hit her opponent in the jaw with her right foot.
The high kicks she performed were truly dangerous. At the beginning of the third round, the short Shi Min again hit the jaw. This time, Xiaokang fell to the floor as if she had been knocked down. Shi rushed to finish off her opponent, but this could no longer be done. Fen did not understand what was happening, but she received several more heavy blows to the head.

“I’m worried about my opponent”
The audience exploded in delight at such a furious knockout, but quickly fell silent, because the defeated girl could not get up. Even Shi Ming looked confused. She, having a medical education behind her, understood perfectly well that all this could end sadly.
“I feel very happy, but I’m worried about my opponent.” I hope she’ll be okay. She’s young,” Shi Min said after the fight.
Xiaokang was still unable to get up. She was taken out of the “cage” on a stretcher with her head fixed. Naturally, the stands gave a standing ovation to the victim, but she was unable to respond in kind, although her attempts to move her arms were visible.
Only after a while did news appear about the athlete’s health condition. According to information from the broadcast, Xiaokang was taken to the hospital, where she was still able to move her arms. Also, the girl does not remember at all what happened to her. She will now have to undergo a brain examination for a concussion, according to UFC protocol.
