The atypical story of Shi Ming has captivated the world of mixed martial arts for several days since in addition to being a UFC fighter, the Chinese woman is also a doctor.
What’s even crazier is that her parents don’t know that she’s been fighting in the octagon for years. For them, their 30-year-old daughter took part in a traditional competition at the weekend where she breaks boards.

Instead, Shi Ming was part of Saturday’s Macau gala, her first with the UFC, and she was knocked out. to Feng Xiaocan. Using a powerful kick to the head, she sent her opponent to the canvas for victory in the third round.
“I don’t think I’ll mention it to them. My parents are traditional Chinese parents and they care for me. Only doctor or lawyer, I had no choice. So I will fight for the UFC, but each time, I will return home when I have recovered,” explained in a post-fight interview the one who has a record in mixed martial arts of 17-5.
Due to her profession as a doctor, Shi quickly felt guilty for having brutalized her rival. Feng had to be carried away on a stretcher.
“It’s my greatest weakness, I have too much pity,” she admitted. I’m not aggressive enough. It’s very difficult for me to hurt my opponent. Especially since she’s trained so much and she’s so young. It’s really sad to see her lying there for more than 10 minutes. I hope she recovers soon.”
The strawweight fighter even won the $50,000 bonus for the performance of the evening, even though her fight appeared on the preliminary card.
There is therefore a good chance that his parents will discover the pot of roses…
