Matchup Analysis
Quick turnaround rematch after contentious no contest
Su Mudaerji and Alex Perez are running this back just three months after their first meeting was ruled a no contest in round two due to an accidental groin strike, so both corners come in with extremely fresh, opponent-specific tape.
SourceMudaerji brings rangy knockout threat at flyweight
Su Mudaerji enters with a 19-7 (1 NC) record built largely on striking, with the majority of his wins coming by knockout, and he leverages a long 5'8" frame and 72-inch reach that is big for flyweight.
SourceEfficiency edge for Mudaerji in pure striking metrics
On UFCStats, Mudaerji averages about 4.40 significant strikes landed per minute on 50% accuracy while absorbing only 2.29 per minute with 63% strike defense, giving him a notably positive striking differential compared to typical flyweights.
SourcePerez enters as the more seasoned big-stage veteran
Alex Perez carries a 26-10 (1 NC) professional mark with roughly an 8-6 (1 NC) UFC record and has already challenged for the UFC flyweight title against Deiveson Figueiredo, so he is far more accustomed to long camps and high-pressure main-card slots than Mudaerji.
SourceWrestling and top game are Perez’s clearest leverage point
Perez averages north of two takedowns per 15 minutes in the UFC with solid takedown accuracy and around 74% takedown defense, giving him a proven wrestling base that contrasts sharply with Mudaerji’s historically strike-first approach.
SourceGrappling durability questions remain for Mudaerji
Six of Su Mudaerji’s seven professional losses have come by submission, a pattern that suggests persistent defensive grappling vulnerabilities that Perez’s wrestling and top pressure are well positioned to test, especially in transitions.
SourcePick Ideas
Perez inside-the-distance props as a value angle
With six wins by knockout, seven by submission, and ten first-round finishes on his record, Perez profiles as a well-rounded finisher who can cash an inside-the-distance ticket in multiple ways if he can drag Mudaerji into extended grappling or scramble-heavy sequences.
Fight doesn’t go the distance due to combined finish rates
Verdict-style metrics show Perez finishing roughly 54% of his wins while Mudaerji’s victories skew heavily toward stoppages as well, so an under or fight-ends-inside-the-distance play aligns with both fighters’ historical tendency to decide bouts before the cards.
Round-based and live-betting splits favoring early Mudaerji, late Perez
Mudaerji has logged around eleven first-round finishes, underscoring his danger as a fast starter, whereas Perez’s history includes a signature leg-kick TKO of Jussier Formiga that illustrates how his attritional tools can take over in later rounds, creating a potential split strategy of early Mudaerji props and late or live Perez exposure.
