Damian Pinas Gets His Wish, Books High-Stakes Middleweight Clash Against Undefeated Baisangur Susurkaev at UFC 335

Damian Pinas just got his wish, and now we get to see if his mouth is writing checks his fists can actually cash. MMA Junkie just confirmed that the 24-year-old knockout artist is officially booked to fight undefeated Baisangur Susurkaev at UFC 335 on December 12 in Las Vegas.

Pinas literally begged for this matchup, going out of his way to call the 12-0 Susurkaev an easy fight. Calling an undefeated professional cage fighter easy is the kind of unhinged confidence you usually only see from a guy who just bought his first crypto coin, but Pinas might actually have the hardware to back it up.

"Pinas called the 12-0 fighter 'EASY' and suggested he was booked vs Susurkaev."

If you missed UFC 332 back in October, Pinas turned Andrey Pulyaev into a viral meme. He landed an uppercut so clean it ended the fight in 75 seconds and probably reset Pulyaev's factory settings. That bumped Pinas to 11-1 overall and a flawless 3-0 in the UFC, with 10 of those career wins coming by knockout.

This middleweight clash is exactly what the division needs right now. You have a young prospect with dynamite in his hands actively hunting down an undefeated killer instead of trying to pad his record against aging veterans. For anyone looking at the early betting lines, this is the definition of a high-variance coin flip where someone's hype train is getting violently derailed.

We have until December to see how the oddsmakers actually price this violence. If Pinas lands another first-round highlight reel against a guy with a perfect record, he is going to fast-track himself right into the top 15 conversation just like he promised Joe Rogan.
