Shi Ming Sends Opponent Out on a Stretcher Following Horrifying Head-Kick KO - UFC Macau Highlights

Shi Ming won the Road to UFC strawweight tournament with one of the most brutal head kicks in recent memory against Feng Xiaocan at UFC Macau on Saturday.

Things got off to a relatively slow start, but things picked up late in the opening round when Shi managed to score a takedown. However, Feng was able to sweep Shi with relative ease, putting her right into the mount. To Shi’s credit, she defended well and worked her way back up before the end of the round, but Feng’s success on the mat likely won her the round.

Things began to pick up on the feet in the second stanza with Shi being the more aggressive fighter despite Feng having a distinct advantage in length and reach.

With the fight potentially tied up, Shi came out swinging and landed an absolutely brutal head kick less than a minute into the round. Shi moved in quickly and dropped a few ground-and-pound strikes, forcing the referee to step in and call for the stoppage.

Jon Jones TKOs Stipe Miocic with Brutal Spinning Back Kick, Leaves Door Open for Aspinall Fight - UFC 309 Highlights

Jon Jones got the job done in convincing fashion at UFC 309 on Saturday night.

Returning to the Octagon for the first time since his title-winning performance against Ciryl Gane almost two years ago, ‘Bones’ looked as good as ever against the former two-time heavyweight titleholder Stipe Miocic.

From the get-go, Jones was in complete control of the bout, peppering Miocic with a series of kicks to the body and the lead leg. Jones nearly finished things in the opening round after securing a takedown and lighting up Miocic with a barrage of elbow strikes near the fence. Miocic did a good job of defending, but surviving the round was the best he could do from his back.

The second round wasn’t much more competitive than the first, but things came to a head in the third when Jones unleashed a nasty spinning back kick with less than a minute to go in the round. The kick immediately folded Miocic up against the fence and ‘Bones’ finished things with a few ground-and-pound strikes that forced referee Herb Dean to step in and call for the stoppage.

Official Result: Jon Jones def. Stipe Miocic via TKO (spinning back kick to ground-and-pound) at 4:29 of Round 3.

Eduarda Moura Snaps Veronica Hardy's Four-Fight Win Streak, Earns Unanimous Decision Victory - UFC 309 Highlights

Eduarda Moura snapped Veronica Hardy’s four-fight win streak and moved herself to 11-1 with an impressive three-round showing to kick off UFC 309 in NYC.

Moura stuck Hardy with a big right hand early on, that immediately put the Venezuelan on her backfoot. Hardy struggled to close the distance but managed to land a nice body kick at the end of a combination. However, Moura quickly made her pay for it with another booming right hand that popped Hardy’s back.

In the final seconds of the first, Hardy attempted to close the distance and connect with another body kick, but Moura quickly responded with a takedown that put a pretty big stamp on the first five minutes.

Eduarda Moura

In the opening seconds of the second stanza, Hardy landed a nice left hand — her best of the fight up to that point — but Moura quickly shut things down with another successful takedown attempt.

Hardy attempted to fight her way back up for a majority of the round but ultimately acquiesced to the position and rode out the clock.

Eduarda Moura

Likely down 2-0 going into the third, Hardy came out aggressive, but Moura once again caught her with a right-hand coming in. That prompted Hardy to start throwing kicks from the outside — including a punishing lead leg attack with a minute to go.

Hardy wasn’t able to muster much offense beyond that, bringing an end to their three-round affair with little fanfare.

Eduarda Moura

Official Result: Eduarda Moura def. Veronica Hardy via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
