Song Yadong became the first man to finish former bantamweight title challenger Umar Nurmagomedov, and it was by second-round knockout in the main event of UFC Shanghai on Saturday. Yadong entered this fight as a 5-1 underdog but pulled off an amazing upset by knocking out Nurmagomedov with a right uppercut. This is without a doubt the biggest win of Yadong's career, and it puts him one step closer to challenging the champion for the title. In 6:48 of action, Yadong landed 11 significant strikes. With the win, Yadong improved to 13-4-1 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic
