"After two years of struggles due to knee surgery, the Chinese star said he was in 'the best place' in his career to date, and wants a 'ranked opponent next.' Mudaerji (19-7) did get a lesson in Mexican fighting spirit on Saturday. 'The Tibetan Eagle' said he 'really now knows Mexican's toughness.'"
"Up next, having won three straight, Mudaerji is looking high up the flyweight rankings. 'Anyone in top five is what [I'm] looking for next.' Ideally, Mudaerji wants to fight on the UFC's Macau card later this year."
"The plan, said Mudaerji while speaking through an interpreter, was to try and finish his opponent. That didn't come to pass. After two years of struggles due to knee surgery, however, the Chinese star said he was in 'the best place' in his career to date."
Su Mudaerji secured a decision victory over Jesus Aguilar at UFC 326 in Las Vegas, though the fight differed from his initial game plan to finish his opponent. After two years of recovery from knee surgery, Mudaerji stated he is in the best place of his career. He gained respect for Mexican fighting spirit during the bout, noting Aguilar's toughness and resilience despite appearing exhausted. With three consecutive wins, Mudaerji is targeting top-five ranked flyweight opponents and prefers to compete on the UFC's Macau card. He also expressed interest in rescheduling a previously planned fight with Joshua Van, which was cancelled due to visa issues.
