Flyweight contenders Su Mudaerji and Matthew Schnell went to war this past weekend at a UFC Fight Night event held at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Schnell returned from the jaws of defeat to pick up an incredible submission win towards the end of the second round.The fight was full of back-and-forth violence and definitely stole the show, deservedly winning the 'Fight of the Night' honors. However, fighters often pick up severe injuries inside the octagon or during training sessions while preparing for fights. Following the fight, Mudaerji's manager revealed that the Chinese fighter went into the contest with a torn ACL in his knee.Mudaerji wore leg sleeves on both knees during the fight, likely due to the injury. MMA Junkie's Nolan King reported the news on Twitter:"Sumudaerji fought Matt Schnell with a torn ACL suffered prior to the fight (hence leg sleeves), per his manager @AjAriosa.

During a press conference heading into the fight, the Tibetan fighter claimed he was two wins away from fighting for the title. He predicted a knockout win over Schnell and wanted to face a fighter ranked within the top five next.While he failed to get the finish, Su Mudaerji definitely came close to knocking his opponent out. He scored one knockdown and was seemingly moments away from winning the fight on several occasions, but every single time, Schnell refused to go down.Although he failed to extend his winning streak this past weekend, Su Mudaerji's stock only rose despite the loss. He and Schnell put up a fantastic show for the fans, who will remember the barnburner for years to come.Josie Aldo@MMAWretchSumudaerji loves folding elbows11Sumudaerji loves folding elbows https://t.co/Ut80MF8WW8
