  "account": "UFC newcomer Bilal Hasan from the United States made a strong debut in his debut fight by knocking out Peru's Nilson Rojas in the second round during UFC Fight Night in Shanghai. Hasan, a fighter representing Indonesia in the flyweight division, displayed an aggressive start to the bout, landing several kicks on Rojas, which left the Peruvian with a bloody nose. Despite a brief opening where Rojas managed to land a shot that momentarily dazed Hasan, the Indonesian fighter took control, attempting to take the fight to the ground and secure a submission. However, Rojas managed to escape that attempt. After the fight, Hasan expressed his appreciation for being in China, wishing Michael Jackson a happy birthday, and acknowledging the difficulty of the bout, acknowledging that it was harder than he expected.",
