He started practicing San Da in 2010 and won the second place in the Sichuan Youth San Da Championship. From 2014 to 2015, he was selected to study in the Sichuan San Da team and then transitioned into MMA. Starting his career in 2016, Mudaerji fought mostly for the Wu Lin Feng promotion, compiling an 11–3 record.[6]
