Third straight knockout loss
Liang lost to JJ Aldrich via TKO (punches) at 4:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
Liang's grappling looked pretty good in this one. She landed 3-of-4 takedown attempts on Aldrich. The issue was that she was credited with just 1:38 worth of control time, meaning Aldrich eventually separated and was able to do damage of her own. Liang was eventually overwhelmed late in Round 2 and unable to see the end of the frame. Although just 27 years of age, Liang has lost each of her first three UFC bouts via knockout, meaning it would appear to be a near certainty we won't see her in the Octagon again.

New opponent booked
Liang (undisclosed) will take on JJ Aldrich at UFC Singapore on August 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Liang was forced to pull out of her scheduled fight against Borgan Walker on March 25 and the reasoning was never disclosed. Liang has dropped her first two UFC bouts and is in search of proving her worth in the promotion with a win and will try to do so against a veteran in Aldrich.

Pulls out of Walker fight
Liang (undisclosed) has withdrawn from her upcoming fight against Brogan Walker on March 25, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
There is no word on why Liang was forced to withdraw. She has struggled since joining the promotion, dropping her first two fights, the most recent of which was last June against Silvana Gomez Juarez.

Fighting Brogan Walker
Liang agreed to face Brogan Walker at UFC San Antonio on March 25, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Liang is 0-2 since joining the promotion with knockout losses to Silvana Gomez Juarez in June and Ariane Carnelossi in April 2021, so this could be a pivotal matchup for "Dragon Girl" and her future with the company. Walker made her UFC debut in August and fell to Juliana Miller via TKO (punches).

Lasts 82 seconds at UFC 275
Liang lost to Silvana Gomez Juarez via KO (punches) at 1:22 of Round 1 at UFC 275 on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
Clearly too over-hyped for the biggest fight of her career, Liang spent the brief bout running around like a lunatic and paying zero attention to her defense. The end result was Liang getting starched by Juarez with a combination that turned her lights out 82 seconds into the fight. There is theoretical upside with Liang due to the fact she won't turn 26 years of age until late-July, but she has now suffered back-to-back knockout defeats to begin her UFC run.
