Baysangur Susurkaev will make his UFC debut at UFC 319, just four days after earning his contract through an impressive performance. He is a training partner of Khamzat Chimaev, who holds the record for the shortest turnaround in UFC history. Susurkaev's debut is against Eric Nolan, who is not intimidated by Susurkaev's association with Chimaev. Both fighters bring impressive finishing records into the octagon, and Chimaev has praised Susurkaev's skills, suggesting he is a formidable opponent.
"Hunter" subsequently asked for a spot on the UFC 319 card just four days later and Dana White obliged, marking the shortest turnaround in UFC history.
Chimaev previously held that distinction, finishing his first two UFC fights within 10 days back in 2020.
Nolan claimed he isn't intimidated by Susurkaev being Chimaev's teammate, stating, "I know he is Khamzat Chimaev's little butt buddy, but he is not Khamzat Chimaev."
Chimaev hyped up his training partner, hailing Susurkaev as better than himself, saying, "Don't worry, he gonna knock you out."
