Today at 06:20 AM

DongHun Choi completely lost his cool after winning a UFC contract.

The South Korean fighter squared off Kiru Singh Sahota in the Road to UFC Season 3 flyweight at the Galaxy Arena in Macau, China on Saturday morning.

Choi entered the contest with a perfect 7-0 record, but his journey to the final wasn't straightforward as he edged out his past two opponents by split decision.

However, he left no doubt in the final as he scored a brutal first-round knockout at UFC Macau.

DongHun Choi goes wild celebrating KO victory

There was a brief feeling-out process at the beginning of round one, but it wasn’t long before DongHun Choi was firing big bombs at his opponent.

The 25-year-old connected with a three-punch combination of hooks, with the final right-hand landing perfectly on Kiru Singh Sahota’s chin to send him crashing face-first to the canvas.

Referee Mark Craig immediately stepped in and waved off the fight at 2:36 of the opening round.

Choi celebrated his big win by screaming and shouting as he charged around the Octagon in shock.

As his opponent was being lifted onto a stool, Choi was hysterically jumping around the cage.

Choi even twerked a little bit before doing a cartwheel in front of a clearly concussed Sahota.

Fans watching at home felt a little bit of sympathy for the Choi’s opponent.

One person tweeted: “Feel bad for his opponent waking up to that.”

Another added: “Bros hitting nonstop emotes in front of him.”

UFC hopeful carried out on a stretcher after head kick KO

Choi would usually be a shoo-in for a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, but he faces stiff competition from the fighter who won just before he entered the Octagon.

There were some concerning scenes at UFC Macau, with strawweight hopeful Xiaocan Feng being taken out of the arena on a stretcher.

Ming 'Doctor' Shi, who still practices medicine and somehow manages to keep her MMA career a secret from her parents, scored one of the best head-kick knockouts of the year as the fight entered the third round.

"I feel really happy, but I actually worry about my opponent," she said during a post-fight interview with Michael Bisping.

"I really hope she is okay, she's young and – sorry… That's what happened in the semi-finals, I had a lot of opportunities to knock out my opponent, but I think I have too much mercy – I'm not aggressive enough."

Bisping’s co-commentator, John Gooden, later revealed that Feng had been taken to hospital for a CT scan after the head kick KO left her unconscious for four minutes. Updates on her condition will be relayed by the UFC as they are available.
