SuYoung You went to war with Long Xiao at UFC Shanghai and walked away with his third career win inside the Octagon.
After watching Uran Satybaldiev kick off the evening with an impressive submission victory over Diyar Nurgozhay, Xiao and You delivered an exciting back-and-forth battle on the feet. Through two entertaining rounds of action, neither fighter showed signs of slowing down, though it was You who appeared to land the more impactful strikes. Xiao, however, was successful in stuffing all five of You’s takedown attempts during the first 10 minutes.
With the fight potentially tied up, both fighters swung big in the third round.
