Denise Gomes Stops Yan Xiaonan in the First Round
Denise Gomes stopped Yan Xiaonan by TKO at 4:49 of the first round at UFC Shanghai on August 29, 2026. The strawweight bout ended by strikes in its opening round.
An early stoppage
Gomes landed the sequence that prompted the referee to intervene at 4:49. UFC’s results list a technical knockout, meaning the fight ended through strikes before a judge’s decision was needed.
Yan could not continue after the exchange. The official record confirms the round and time, avoiding a vague statement that Gomes simply “won” without explaining the finish.
A notable undercard result
The bout was part of UFC Shanghai’s August 29 lineup, which featured Song Yadong and Umar Nurmagomedov in the main event. Gomes’s win came in a separate strawweight contest.
The UFC event report is the source for the method and time. The result establishes a stoppage win but does not by itself announce a ranking change or title challenge.
Song Yadong’s knockout over Umar Nurmagomedov headlined the event, while Gomes’s stoppage was a separate strawweight bout. The 4:49 time confirms that the fight ended during the first round rather than after a full contest.
The first-round TKO gives Gomes a clear stoppage result. UFC’s event page records the bout separately from the main-event knockout and the other strawweight matchups.
