A UFC Shanghai hunter was beaten so badly that fans even question his status as a hunter.
The leading promotion of mixed martial arts is back abroad, with the latest UFC Fight Night that takes place in the Shanghai Indoor Stadium in China on August 23.

But the last of those brutal endings was surprisingly not the fastest interruption of the night. Instead, that crown went to one of his own guest nation, who quickly expanding the lights of his opponent.

Westin Wilson flat -linered in just 37 seconds by Yizha on UFC Shanghai
After the victories for Kyrgyzstan and South Korea had stopped, Asia went 3-0 to start the map when China arrived on the board thanks to Yizha. The road to the UFC winner appeared his second octagonal appearance after he lost to Gabriel Santos in his debut last September.
For his home fans, the 28-year-old bounced back in style with a devastating eruption from the gates, the victim of which was the Westin Wilson of America.
The 36-year-old Californian struggled in the UFC and lost two of his three fights prior to Saturday's map. That run had questioned a lot that his ability to compete on the largest stage of sport, and his performance in Shanghai did little to destroy such a conversation.
Wilson was eliminated in just 37 seconds, while Yizha's annoying two-punch combo crushed him against the cage before a brutal follow-up shot ended the job when the referee entered.

It was not long for MMA fans to give them two cents on Wilson's newest defeat, who left the 36-year-old with a 17-10 pro record.
The American featherweight was the victim of the usual spot that is accompanied by a quick defeat, where some go so far that they call him the “worst hunter” of the UFC.
“Brother was sent back home after a 15 -hour flight.”
“Worst hunter on the Roster. That was terrible.”
“I think Westin Wilson is a hunter who can actually beat some normal UFC fans in a fight.”
“Where is his defense, legit doesn't understand.”
“The matchmaker who made this fight wanted Bro to be killed.”
“The cans want this man to be on the Roster, while the UFC cuts those who are actually entertaining and talented hunters, is what is wrong with this organization.”
