What happened to Feng Xiaocan at UFC Macau?

Feng Xiaocan's UFC debut did not go according to plan. She suffered a brutal head kick knockout from her opponent in the third round of their fight.

After the bout, Feng did not regain consciousness for several minutes, causing a concern among many in the MMA community. A stretcher had to be brought out and she was carried out of the arena to a hospital.

During the live telecast, the UFC commentary team provided an update regarding her health saying:

"The stretcher was an agreed decision between the UFC and the local medical officials because the fighter had been unconscious for four minutes. She was awake but unresponsive at first before she began speaking with her coach in the ambulance. She's been taken to the hospital first for a precautionary head CT scan. She was able to move her arms, no pain, no dizziness, no headache. She was just unaware of what happened."

It was also explained as to what would happen if Feng could not get medical clearance from the hospital.

"If she's cleared at the hospital, she will go home and the PI [Performance Institute] in Shanghai will follow up with the necessary concussion protocols. If she's not cleared, a member of our medical staff will stay with her until she is, in fact, cleared to go home."

MMA journalist Aaron Bronsteter later provided an update, sharing that the fighter was able to speak and move. He added that Feng had not suffered any injuries or fractures and the early CT scan results appeared positive.
