ROAD TO UFC Season 4: Brasil vs. Shi delivered action-packed semifinals Friday night at the Shanghai Indoor Stadium in Xuhui District, with Bruna Brasil securing a unanimous decision victory over China’s Shi Ming in the main event.
Shi, making her UFC debut after winning the ROAD TO UFC Season 3 women’s strawweight tournament, had strong support from the hometown crowd but was outmatched by Brasil’s size, experience and efficiency over three rounds. Brasil earned the decision on all three judges’ scorecards (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).
“I’m very happy to fight here in China, it’s my dream come true to be the UFC China main event,” Brasil said. “Whoever UFC gives me next, I’m ready. I don’t stop, I train every day. I’m the queen of the Fighting Nerds. If you don’t know, now you know!”
