In the second round, Jedrzejczyk missed one attempt and was caught by a counter from Weili. A spinning backfist that landed perfectly on the chin and floored Jedrzejczyk. It was an emotional moment for everyone in the arena, and fans couldn’t help but pay their respects to one of the best mixed martial artists to ever step inside the octagon. MMA aces also poured down in support of the former champion.
