Khamzat Chimaev shouted the newest hunter from the UFC for UFC 319.
It is a crazy week before the UFC when they go to Chicago for the biggest fight of the year between centralweight champion Drus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev on UFC 319.
The last few days have two combat abnormalities and even Crazerier, a UFC contract winner of Contender Series on Tuesday evening to fight in the Octagon this Saturday.
That's right, Baisangur Susurkaev is planning to make his promotion debut against Eric Nolan on a few days of notice.

Khamzat Chimaev says that Baysgur Susurkaev is better than he does
Chimaev did not like what Susurkaev's opponent had to say with the press.
“I know he is Khamzat Chimaev's Little Butty, but he is not Khamzat Chimaev,” Nolan said about Susurkaev.
“He is better than me, Bro,” Chimaev responded to Nolan.
That is a huge compliment from Chimaev, even greater if the 14-0 middleweight candidate can win the UFC Middleweight Title of Dricus du Persis in the main event this weekend.
“Don't worry, he will disable you,” said Chimaev about Susurkaev.
The crowd became wild and Susurkaev added.
“I'll hit you, boy!” Susurkaev told Nolan.
Susurkaev is a 24-year-old weight with a record of 9-0. His opponent Nolan is 8-3, runs on a win with four fights and fights for a weight class on UFC 319.

Baisangur Susurkaev has saved the season premiere of Contender Series
Susurkaev was an out of a most boring first episode of Dana White's Contender Series.
A new season premiered on Tuesday and four of the five fights went to the jury's scorecards.
But not Susurkaev's. The middleweight perspective earned a contract with a Body Kick Tko about Murtaza Talha.
Susurkaev informed the fight on four days and only a few days later he can be fighted in the UFC.
