Baisangur Susurkayev targets top-15 opponent after Jorden Santos fight at UFC 328

During media day ahead of UFC 328, Baisangur Susurkayev stated his intention to secure a top-15 ranked opponent following his upcoming bout with Jorden Santos this weekend. The Russian middleweight is looking to make a statement and climb the division rankings with a strong performance. Susurkayev expressed confidence in his readiness to face elite competition, with some suggesting a potential matchup against Roman Dolidze. However, there are questions about whether he has sufficient experience to immediately jump into the top-15 given his relative youth in the UFC. A victory over Santos could position him for bigger opportunities in the stacked middleweight division.
