At present, among the Chinese men's boxers who competed in the UFC, only Li Jingliang, Song Yadong and Sumudalji successfully entered the official ranking, Li Jingliang ranked 13th in the second middleweight (77 kg), Song Yadong ranked 14th in the magnitude of the young (61 kg), and Sumu Dalki was previously ranked 13th in the flyweight (57 kg). Recently, Sumudalji's ranking has risen by one place to 12th, and he has also become the highest ranking boxer among the current UFC Chinese male boxers.

Nicknamed the "Tibetan Eagle", Sumidalki began his career in 2016, competing in the ring of a martial cage. Afterwards, Sumdalki showed his bravery and took down the caged gold belt in one fell swoop. In November 2018, Sumidalki made his UFC debut, but was demoted in the second leg, which is very regrettable. After that, Sumdalki rose back to prominence and played a three-game winning streak. Among them, in November 2020, he koked his opponent in only 44 seconds on the UFC, which was even more amazing!
Sumdalki's most recent match was on 21 January 2021, when he played against Adashev from Uzbekistan. In that game, Sumidalki played steadily, fought with his opponent for three full rounds, and finally won the victory through judgment, continuing his momentum of soaring. But then Sumudalki suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, which caused him to be in a state of recuperation in mid-2021, and the momentum of progress came to an abrupt end.
After a long recuperation, Sumdalki finally returned from injury and will face Capet, a boxer from Angola, on April 24, Beijing time. Capet previously competed in Rizin Japan, where he played against Japanese stars Kyoji Horiguchi and Asakura Kai. On December 31, 2019, Capet won the RIZIN WeightWeight (61 kg) championship gold belt in the second leg with Asakura Kai TKO.

In 2021, Capet signed for the UFC, losing the first two games. Since then, Capet has adjusted to reverse the decline, winning the first leg of the TKO opponent in both August and December 2021, becoming another fierce player in this level that cannot be underestimated.
Capet is currently ranked 14th in the UFC flyweight, although lower than Sumudalki, his strength can not be underestimated, which is also a test for Sumudalki. In addition, the current champion of this category, Brazilian Figueredo, has also had ups and downs. His three consecutive encounters with Moreno are also a good story of this level. Figueretto won the gold belt in 2020 and has since successfully defended the title once. In the second defending game, Figueredo drew with challenger Moreno and struggled to keep the gold belt. In June 2021, in the second match between Figueredo and Moreno, Moreno successfully defeated his opponent and won the gold belt. In January, the two sides fought three more battles, this time Figueredo successfully took revenge and regained the golden belt.

After three encounters, the UFC may not arrange four battles between the two sides in the short term, so if Sumdalki can maintain good form, after winning a few big wins, it is likely to attack the championship. Let's look forward to this day as soon as possible!
