Baisangur Susurkaev

Overview

Baisangur Susurkaev has three UFC fights and three finishes, and none of them came in the first round. He gets there late, not early.

"The Real Hunter" is a Russian middleweight out of Chechnya who trains with Kill Cliff FC. His UFC record is 3-0, and his professional record across all promotions is 12-0. Every UFC win has ended inside the distance: one KO/TKO in round 3 and two submissions. He carries a three-fight win streak into his next fight.

Unbeaten, finishing, and still waiting on his first elite opponent.

UFC Career

His path to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series 9.1, where he beat Murtaza Talha by KO/TKO at 3:04 of round 1. That fight sits outside his UFC record, which begins days later.

At UFC 319 he submitted Eric Nolan at 2:01 of round 2. His next fight, at UFC 322, ended with a KO/TKO of Eric McConico at 1:38 of round 3. At UFC 328 he submitted Djorden Santos at 4:12 of round 3.

That's two of his three UFC finishes arriving in the third round, with the other in the second. None of his UFC wins have gone to the judges, and none of them have involved a first-round finish. It's a small sample, but the pattern points to a fighter who wins by wearing opponents down.

None of his three UFC wins came against an opponent our model rates as elite, so the real test is still ahead.

Fighting Style

Susurkaev is a busy, accurate striker who is hard to hit cleanly. He puts a lot of volume on opponents and lands a good share of it, though he still absorbs strikes at about the UFC average, so he isn't untouchable.

He doesn't stay on the feet, either. He goes for takedowns more than most, is very hard to take down himself, and hunts for submissions far more often than the typical UFC fighter.

That pressure has turned into finishes. All three of his UFC wins ended early: two by submission and one by TKO. He has never needed the judges, and each finish came in the second or third round.
