The octagon-side doctor quickly rushed in to tend to the fallen Feng, who suffered her third-ever loss.
Worryingly, she was down for several minutes, which prompted medics to place her on a stretcher.
And they deemed it necessary to immediately transport her to the hospital for further treatment.
A victorious Shi showed her class in her post-fight interview by wishing her opponent a speedy recovery, saying: “I feel really happy and I worry about my opponent.
“I hope she is OK. She is young.
“I think I’m going to be a dangerous opponent in the future.
“Good luck to my next opponent.”
