The Tibetan Eagle
Sumudaerji
Career overview
Sumudaerji, the southpaw flyweight from Tibet, carries a 19-7-0 record (1 NC) built on volume striking and defensive acumen rather than offensive wrestling. Operating at 5'8" with a 72-inch reach, Sumudaerji lands 4.40 strikes per minute with 50% accuracy while absorbing just 2.29 per minute and defending 63% of incoming strikes—a profile of a composed, economical striker.
His grappling remains secondary: he averages 0.76 takedowns per 15 minutes at 37% accuracy but defends takedowns at a respectable 73%, suggesting he's primarily a stand-up fighter who avoids the mat. With a submission average of 0.5 per 15 minutes and a KO score of 6.3, he possesses moderate finishing power but lacks prolific submission threat.
Recent form has been mixed: victories over Jesus Aguilar (unanimous decision, March 2026) and Zarrukh Adashev (unanimous decision, January 2021) bookend losses to Tim Elliott (submission, round one, December 2023), Matt Schnell (submission, round two, July 2022), and Charles Johnson (unanimous decision, October 2024). Sumudaerji's cardio score of 53.7 indicates moderate endurance, and his recent struggles against submission specialists suggest defensive grappling remains a vulnerability as he seeks to stabilize his standing in the flyweight division.
