MATT SCHNELL VS SU MUDAERJI LOWDOWN
Matt Schnell’s (15-6(1)) UFC record dropped to 5-4(1) in his last fight. After Alexandre Pantoja (2019) snapped his four-fight win streak with a knockout, he responded with a split decision over Tyson Nam (2021). However, four months later he lost a unanimous decision to Rogerio Bontorin (overturned to a ‘no contest’ due to failed drugs test) and then got submitted by Brandon Royval back in May.
Su Mudaerji (16-4) is enjoying some better form as he rides a three-fight win streak. He got submitted on his UFC debut by Louis Smolka (2018), a month after getting submitted by Hao Bin Ma for the WLF promotion. However, he bounced back with a unanimous decision over Andre Soukhamthath (2019), a knockout over Malcolm Gordon (2020) and another unanimous decision over Zarrukh Adashev (2021).
MATT SCHNELL VS SU MUDAERJI PREDICTION
Mudaerji has looked great in his last three fights, but Soukhamthath and Adashev are not UFC calibre and he clearly has a weakness on the ground with all his losses coming via submission. Schnell has been submitted a couple times himself, but he has very good jiu-jitsu and that will be his obvious route to victory.
The fight will begin on the feet which we expect to be very competitive. Mudaerji is technically the better striker and will boast a slight reach advantage, but Schnell is rapid. He can cause problems on the feet, but his chin is a worry especially considering Mudaerji’s power.
The longer this stays on the feet, the more you have to back Mudaerji. However, if the fight goes to the ground, you have to back Schnell all day so it will depend on how the American approaches this. Considering the odds, Schnell is the smart pick and we can certainly see him getting a submission. That said, we are backing Mudaerji to find that comprised chin.
