    CHINESE fighters won five out of eight bouts on Saturday night, including one of the quickest knockouts in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) history as the world's richest mixed martial arts (MMA) promoter made its debut in mainland China.

    The UFC's Shanghai Fight Night comes as top MMA organisations set their sights on China, where MMA's rapid growth and the country's ancient martial arts traditions are fuelling predictions that it could become the sport's next frontier.
