Matt Schnell admits his ‘back’s against the wall in some capacity’ going into UFC on ABC 3

ELMONT, N.Y. – Matt Schnell is confident he can turn things around at UFC on ABC 3.

After going on a five-fight winning streak until mid-2019, Schnell (15-6 MMA, 5-4 UFC) has now has just one in his past four octagon appearances. It’s a rough patch that’s been aligned with injuries, fight withdrawals and the recent passing of his mother, but the narrative of his life can change with a win over Su Mudaerji (16-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) on Saturday.

“Winning solves everything,” Schnell told MMA Junkie at Wednesday’s UFC on ABC 3 media day. “We’re one moment away from getting right back on top. That’s what’s so great about this sport. So, things have been rough. I haven’t felt like I’ve been in a groove in my winning ways, per se, but I truly believe I’m one of the best. We’ re one moment away from me throwing my hands in the air and celebrating a victory.
