And she was brutally knocked out by a vicious head kick and some ground and pound in the third round of the 115lbs showdown.

The octagon-side doctor quickly rushed in to tend to the fallen Feng, who suffered her third-ever loss.

Worryingly, she was down for several minutes, which prompted medics to place her on a stretcher.

And they deemed it necessary to immediately transport her to the hospital for further treatment.

A victorious Shi showed her class in her post-fight interview by wishing her opponent a speedy recovery, saying: “I feel really happy and I worry about my opponent.

“I hope she is OK. She is young.

“I think I’m going to be a dangerous opponent in the future.

“Good luck to my next opponent.”

Xiaocan, thankfully, regained consciousness before being sent to the hospital for “precautionary reasons”.

Veteran MMA John Gooden said: “Feng Xiaocan, she is moving and she is speaking with the medical staff.

“She is on the stretcher.

“[And] for precautionary reasons, she will be transported immediately to the hospital that is about 20 minutes away, just under nine kilometres.

“And throughout the night, we have McKenzie Pavacich on hand as our reporter with the rest of the team who will get back to you with updates on her well-being as we can.”
