Long Xiao

China

Emphatic first UFC victory
BantamweightUFC
November 23, 2024
Long defeated Quang Le via KO (punch) at 1:28 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
A loser to Chang Ho Lee via split decision in his official UFC debut in June, Long got in the win column here and did so in emphatic fashion. He was up two rounds on three scorecards at the time of the stoppage, so he was going to win anyway, but Long took things out of the judges hands after crushing Le with a right hand which knocked his opponent out in an instant. It was a beautiful shot from a guy more known for his grappling game than power. The win means Long's roster spot is plenty secure for the time being.

Drops Road to UFC final
BantamweightUFC
June 22, 2024
Long lost to Chang Ho Lee via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
This fight was the Road to UFC bantamweight final, and it was a razor-thin bout that could have gone either way. Long started quickly before his opponent managed to regain the momentum. The visuals for Long weren't great, as he ate far too many knees from Lee throughout the course of the fight. Long won't earn a UFC contract this evening, but he was plenty competitive in what was an entertaining fight, so it wouldn't be a shock to see him get the call in the future.
