Number 15 Ranked Flying Weight Charles Johnson continues to build his reputation as 'The Prospect Killer' after he has put another young hunter asleep.
On Saturday the Premier promotion returned to China for UFC Shanghai, with the head of Johnny Walker from Light Heavyweight and Zhang Mingyang.
The Fight Night came on a pretty crazy start and commentator Michael Bisping remained astonished when in one of the early fights, Xiao Long 35 threw in the last 60 seconds of the fight in a comeback attempt.
Not long after, fan favorite Michel Pereira suffered a terrible loss when his head was bounced by Kyle Dauus from the Canvas.

Lone'er Kavanagh suffers brutally, very first loss ever
One of the fights on the Undercard that fans are most looking forward to was a flying weight between exciting prospect Lone'er Kavanagh and Charles Johnson.
'INNERGE' was on an extremely impressive run, picking up victories on the will of Azat Maksum, Sumudaerji and even Joshua van.
Kavanagh, on the other hand, came undefeated in the game and hoped to make its way to the flight weight ranking with his third UFC victory in a row since he won a contract with the Contender Series.
And early in the fight it seemed as if the 26-year-old was going to sail so early in the fight for a new impressive victory, he landed heavy shots on Johnson at first.
Within the first few minutes of the first round, he joined a huge left -wing corner that caused irritation for Johnson who constantly wiped his eyes.
'Innergy', however, came from the first round and looked at the pace of the fight in round two. Nevertheless, Kavanagh still did better to land the heavier shots, until the end of the round when Johnson landed a huge right hook on the chin of Kavanagh and sinks him on the floor.
As soon as the hook landed, it was clear that the 26-year-old was out, but Johnson made sure that with a few ground-and-pound strikes, another prospect made and the 'prospect killer' was labeled by the employment team.
What is for Charles Johnson next time?
During his UFC official period, Johnson constantly showed his unmistakable heart and determination, consistently come from behind to score victories.
With such a solid gas tank, Johnson is more suitable for five round battles, and it is fair to say that he probably gave himself the opportunity to head a Fight Night event.
UFC veteran Tim Elliot recently won a huge victory and a main event between the two hunters could then be very logical.
