Perez vs. Su Mudaerji at UFC Macau Ruled No Contest After Accidental Groin Kick

Overview

• The flyweight opener at Galaxy Arena on Saturday ended 1:45 into Round 2 when Su Mudaerji’s teep kick grazed Alex Perez’s groin and officials declared a no contest for an accidental foul.
• Perez collapsed in visible pain, repeatedly used a cageside bucket to retch during the allotted five-minute recovery and was unable to continue the fight.
• UFC confirmed Perez was taken to a local Macau hospital for a precautionary testicular ultrasound and the organization has not released his medical results.
• Broadcast viewers and social media widely criticized the refereeing and the handling of the recovery period, with debate focused on timing, point deductions and which officials intervened.
• The ruling halts momentum for both men: Perez leaves with a no contest added to a difficult recent run while Mudaerji loses the result that would have extended his three-fight win streak.
