- The Chinese fighter was subjected to racism after his last bout. He slammed the 'disgusting' remark.
LAS VEGAS — Aoriqileng just gave a masterclass in how to rebound from defeat as he blasted past Cameron Else during UFC's 13-bout fight card at the Apex on Saturday.
The 28-year-old last competed in November 2021 but lost a unanimous decision to Cody Durden before the American told the Chinese fighter to go "back to China where he came from."
Flyweight fighter Aoriqileng slammed Durden for the "disgusting" remarks.
It was Aoriqileng's second defeat in a row having also lost to Jeff Molina. Though he had 20 wins competing mostly in China, he was winless in the UFC after two losses.
But this weekend, Aoriqileng didn't just win — he did so with style as he dominated Else with a striking masterclass.
Such was Aoriqileng's superiority, he limited Else to a mere seven shots landed from 13 attempted for a 54% accuracy rate compared to Aoriqileng's thunderous 49 strikes landed from 85 attempts (58%), including one knockdown scored.
As soon as Aoriqileng had Else on the floor, it looked all but over as the British fighter was put in a really vulnerable position, with Aoriqileng looking to close the show with horrific ground-and-pound.
