Aori Qileng
Mongolian Murderer
China
Drops UFC 306 opener
Qileng lost to Raul Rosas via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 306 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Qileng saw the final bell and stole the middle round on all three scorecards, all you can ask for as a +650 underdog, by far the largest on the entire card. Aori did fine on the feet, but predictably gave up three takedowns and spent far too much time being controlled on the mat in the first and final frames to potentially win a decision. A member of the UFC roster for more than four years now, the 31-year-old drops to 3-4 (1NC) in eight fights with the promotion. Qileng is nothing more than roster depth for a company which holds an event most every Saturday.

Fortunate no contest
Qileng and Daniel Marcos fought to a no contest (accidental low blow) at 3:28 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Qileng ended up being clipped with a pair of low blows in Round 2, the last of which was too damaging to continue. The fouls ended up being a blessing in disguise for Aori considering he was being totally dominated by Marcos and almost certainly would have come up short one way or another had the fight continued. The very definition of roster depth, the 30-year-old Qileng is now 3-3 (1NC) in his first seven UFC bouts.

Gets right back in win column
Qileng defeated Johnny Munoz via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a massive rebound performance for Qileng on the heels of his 64-second knockout loss to Aiemann Zahabi this past June. He struggled early on here against Munoz, allowing three takedowns in the opening round and spending 2:56 on his back, but Qileng found his form over the course of the final ten minutes, using his massive size edge to batter Munoz on the feet and secure plenty of control time of his own. The 30-year-old has quietly won three of four dating back to April 2022.
