This finding certainly weakens the case for MOND. The authors write that in the conclusion of their paper, as quoted in this article: https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/galaxy-seems-to-lack-dark-matter-stumping-astronomers/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/galaxy-seems-to-lack...
MOND can not explain a galaxy without dark matter as it is a proposal for the modification of the laws of gravity at large distances, and can explain the already-observed galaxies that behave as if they have dark matter (or, as MOND posits, the laws of gravity are different than what we have observed on earth.)
