MOND, as the article points out, doesn't explain this galaxy, however. So it's a point in favor of CDM, if anything, that we find a galaxy behaving according to standard newtonian dynamics, not the modified version.
Doesn't really matter how many data points(galaxies) MOND can accurately predict, if it can't predict all parts of the dataset, what is the point? (I'm not saying CDM is better, it can't predict all data points either, but it seems to be better at explaining a wide range of things once you step outside galactic rotation rates).
