“The Tibetan Eagle” soared on Saturday night, and as corny as that line may be, it’s accurate, because with his 44-second knockout of Malcolm Gordon, Sumudaerji instantly inserted himself in the flyweight contenders’ race, and with a couple more wins, he could be on the verge of joining fellow China native Zhang Weili in the UFC’s circle of champions. Yeah, that’s a big leap, but he’s got the talent and the determination to get there, so yeah, that “Tibetan Eagle” soared, for sure.
