Louis Smolka Says Win Over Su Mudaerji in UFC Return “Basically Kept My Career Alive”

November 24 marked a successful return to the UFC for Louis Smolka.

“Da Last Samurai” pulled off a slick armbar submission over China’s Su Mudaerji at UFC Fight Night 141 in Beijing. It marked his fourth win in a row, and his first UFC win since he TKO’d Ben Nguyen in July 2016.

“It’s great to be back, honestly,” Smolka told MMASucka. “It’s a lot of hard work that came to fruition.”

Smolka started his UFC tenure at 5-1 with wins over Nguyen, Paddy Holohan and Neil Seery.
