Khamzat Chimaev\u2019s longtime training partner, Baisangur Susurkaev, will make his second UFC Octagon appearance on one of the biggest cards of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Baisangur<\/p>\n

UFC middleweight Baisangur Susurkaev introduced himself to fight fans in style, winning two fights in five days last month. After earning a win on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series, Susurkaev was called upon to make his short-notice promotional debut at UFC 319, defeating Eric Nolan by second-round submission.<\/p>\n

Susurkaev arrived on the UFC platform in style with his recent two victories inside the cage as Dana White sat cageside for both performances. Just weeks after making UFC history, Susurkaev already has a date and opponent booked for his second UFC appearance.<\/p>\n

As confirmed by MMA Fighting<\/a> on Thursday, Susurkaev will face Eric McConico at UFC 322 in November at Madison Square Garden. The fight was first reported by X user Real Kevin K<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Susurkaev left White shocked when he knocked out Murtaza Talha<\/a> on August 12th at the UFC Apex. The unbeaten Russian enjoyed successful stints in Fury FC, ACA Young Eagles, and Borroka before earning the attention of the UFC matchmakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Khamzat Chimaev\u2019s longtime training partner, Baisangur Susurkaev, will make his second UFC Octagon appearance on one of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,84335,786,27140,27141,785,85,787,72138],"class_list":["post-119366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baisangur-susurkaev","tag-fighting","tag-islam-makhachev","tag-jack-della-maddalena","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-322"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
