⭐️ Editor's Pick
The Chinese fighter already gained the upper hand in their first meeting - not just statistically: the UFC specifically highlighted his crisp left hand that sent Perez to the canvas, after which Su Mudaerji continued to dominate on the ground. Adding to his case are a three-fight winning streak and a significant reach advantage. Perez can pose problems with his relentless pressure and wrestling, but the first bout showed that the Chinese fighter handles his style effectively. That’s why, for the rematch, we’re backing Su Mudaerji to win.
