Shi Ming
Doctor
China
Date moved for Brasil fight
Ming's fight against Bruna Brasil has been moved from Aug. 23 to Aug. 22, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
In what can only be described as an odd move, the UFC is having main-roster fighters headlining a "Road to UFC" event. This means the Brasil vs. Ming fight will not be part of the main card of UFC Shanghai but instead will headline another company event. Ming will face this event knowing she's on the heels of a five-fight winning streak across promotions.

Fighting Brasil in August

ANALYSIS
Ming will take on Brasil in her home country of China at the UFC event. The 5-foot-2 Ming will head into the bout riding a five-fight win streak across promotions dating back to September, 2022. Considering her significant disadvantages in both height and reach against the older Brasil, Ming will have to stay inside and remain on her toes against the Brazilian fighter.

Highlight reel KO in Macau
Shi defeated Xiaocan Feng via KO (head kick) at 0:46 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
Few could have seen this result coming, and it was nearly impossible to envision it going down as it did. A +440 underdog with one knockout victory in 21 career pro fights entering the evening, Shi was staring down as decision defeat in her official UFC debut before landing one of the most perfectly placed head kicks you will ever see. It put Feng out in an instant and resulted in a well-deserved $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for Shi.

Draws Feng in Macau
Ming will take on Xiaocan Feng in a strawweight bout at UFC Macau on Saturday, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ming will take an experience edge into her bout at the Road to UFC finale, as the 30-year-old is 16-5 in professional MMA and has won 10 of her last 11 bouts. At a relatively advanced age for a lighter weight class, this is likely Ming's last shot at making it to the UFC.
