Hector Santiago Stops Lawrence Lui in Round Two
Hector Santiago knocked out Lawrence Lui at 0:53 of the second round at UFC Shanghai on August 29, 2026. The bantamweight matchup ended less than a minute into round two.
A second-round knockout
Santiago found the finish at 0:53, according to UFC’s official results. The method was knockout, and the bout ended before the scheduled distance rather than going to a decision.
Lui was unable to continue after the decisive exchange. The timing makes Santiago’s finish one of the early second-round results on a card that also contained first-round stoppages.
A result on the Shanghai lineup
UFC Shanghai featured bouts across several divisions and a main event between Song Yadong and Umar Nurmagomedov. Santiago’s win was separate from the main event and should not be conflated with its championship implications.
The official event page confirms the date and result. No future booking follows automatically from the win, so the report limits itself to the bout record.
Other Shanghai results included a first-round TKO for Francesco Nuzzi and a first-round rear-naked choke by Rei Tsuruya. Santiago’s knockout was a separate second-round finish, recorded at 0:53.
The short result was one of the card’s second-round finishes. UFC’s official record identifies the method as a knockout and preserves the time as 0:53.
