UFC set to introduce Russian fighter mere three days following the contract signing
UFC Newcomer Baisangur Susurkaev Makes Emphatic Debut
Baisangur Susurkaev, a Russian middleweight, has made a splash in the UFC after securing his contract and quickly making his debut. On August 12, 2025, Susurkaev won on Dana White's Contender Series, and just four days later, on August 16, he stepped into the octagon for the first time at UFC 319 in Chicago.
In his debut fight, Susurkaev faced Eric Nolan. Despite Nolan's aggressive pacing and attempts to upset him in the first round, Susurkaev's wrestling dominance prevailed. The victory came in the second round by submission, demonstrating Susurkaev's skill and readiness to transition from Contender Series success to UFC competition.
Susurkaev, who remains undefeated as an athlete, expressed his desire to maintain a busy schedule with another fight planned for September 13, 2025, at Noche UFC in San Antonio, Texas.
Meanwhile, the UFC feud between Pico and current UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski in the featherweight division appears to be related to potential future matchups in the UFC. Pico has continued the feud, stating "Your time is coming." Volkanovski has sharply responded, but the nature of the threats made by the UFC newcomer remains unclear.
In a similar vein, Hamzat Chimaev, the headliner of UFC 319, also had a quick transition from Contender Series to UFC. Chimaev fought two times in 10 days in his UFC career.
Elsewhere in the world of combat sports, Mike Perry is returning to BKFC against longtime rival Conor McGregor. However, it's important to note that McGregor is a competitor in BKFC, not UFC, in the provided article.
As the UFC continues to grow and evolve, new talent like Susurkaev is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting developments.
