Chinese MMA fighter & full-time doctor delivers devastating head-kick to taller opponent, instant KO

In the octagon, Shi Ming doesn't mess around.

KO

At the UFC Macau show on Saturday (Nov. 23), Shi delivered a devastating head-kick to her opponent Feng Xiaocan, flooring Feng.

In the earlier rounds, Shi had struggled to out-strike Feng, who is much taller than her.

After that head-kick, various sources stated that her opponent did not stand up in the arena. She was carried out on a stretcher and later transported to a local hospital.

Her victory has landed her the title of Road To UFC Season 3 champion in the Strawweight category.

Who is Shi Ming?

The 30-year-old Chinese national is around 1.6m tall and has official fight records dating back to 2015.

In an interview, she revealed that she began training taekwondo from the age of 13 and later transitioned to MMA.

Now, she is not only a pro MMA fighter but is also a registered, full-time doctor.

Her specialisation? Acupuncture.

In fact, when she retires, she hopes to help other athletes recover.

Apparently, Shi has also kept her MMA career a secret from her parents.
