"Susurkaev took on Djorden Santos in a middleweight matchup on the UFC 328 prelims on Saturday. While Susurkaev mostly outclassed Santos on the feet, the tough Brazilian also returned fire. Susurkaev finally took Santos down and put him to sleep with a rear-naked choke in the third round."
"Susurkaev surprisingly revealed that submissions aren't usually a part of his arsenal. The undefeated Chechnyan claims he is never able to pull off submissions in the gym, although he tries sometimes. Susurkaev also leaves his teammates surprised whenever he tries doing something in the grappling department."
""I never train submissions in the gym," Susurkaev said in a post-fight interview with the UFC. "I try sometimes but I can't. I don't know why. And my teammates tell me every time - when I do something like grappling in fight - they say, 'How you do it? In training you can't do it.' I say, 'I don't know how I do it.' Maybe when I'm scared I do something.""
