Luke Thomas and Chuck Mindenhall are back on a Morning Kombat Monday to recap all the news in the world of combat sports.

In the main event of UFC Shanghai, Song Yadong one-punch KO'd Umar Nurmagomedov in the second round. It's a major upset and shakes up the bantamweight division. It's also the best and biggest win of Song's career. What does a victory like this tell us about Song's journey and was this win enough to get a title shot?

And what's to make of Umar's brother Usman jumping in the cage after the fight?

On the rest of the card, Denise Gomes stopped Yan Xioanan in the first round. Kai Asakura stopped Aoriqileng and grading Bilal Hassan's UFC debut.

It's Friday and that means it's time to check in with Luke Thomas and Jed Meshew on Morning Kombat.

LT and Jed get you ready for UFC Shanghai, starting with the main event between Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong.

The guys go through the rest of the card including Denise Gomes matching up against Yan Xiaonan, Aoriqileng vs. Kai Asakura and Bilal Hasan vs. Nilson Rojas.

Also, Dana White has made it a point to talk about Contender Series fighter pay. For a promoter who famously doesn't enjoy discussing pay, why is White all of a sudden talking about how much money the UFC pays out?

Those stories and more on a Friday edition of MK!
