Khamzat
Chimaev’s teammate, Baisangur
Susurkaev, pulled off a win at UFC 328
with a move he barely trains. 

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. “Hunter”
believes the unexpected moves come out from deep inside him when he
is scared.

“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.”

Susurkaev (12-0) has now finished all three of his
UFC wins, two of them via rear-naked chokes. Meanwhile, Santos
(11-3) has lost two of his three UFC bouts so far.
