🥊 Fight Analysis Breakdown
Baisangur Susurkaev Key Edges
Younger by 11 years and longer in a 30-ft cage; better athlete dictates engagements and resets safely — advantage Susurkaev. (ufcstats.com)
4.56 vs 1.51 SLpM and 58% vs 36% accuracy = more scoring, damage accrual, and snowballing rounds for Susurkaev. (ufcstats.com)
Real back-take/sub threat; McConico has virtually no TD offense and 0.0 Sub/15. Sus controls clinch/ground exchanges. (ufcstats.com)
Recent R2 TKO loss at MW and middling TD defense match poorly against Sus’s body attacks and top pressure. (Tapology)
Unfavorable Scenarios (Susurkaev)
Overcommitting into straight left counters reduces initiative and round-winning minutes.
If the tempo collapses into single shots in space, optics can favor McConico.
Likely Gameplan — Baisangur Susurkaev
Calf/body kicks, step-in right hands to clinch; chain single-to-double on fence, mat returns → ride time → back-expose.
Ground-and-pound to back take → RNC; if overreact to level changes, recycle body kicks (DWCS KO precedent).
Eric McConico Considerations
Intercept step-in rights with straight lefts/elbows; slow the tempo into a split-decision type fight (e.g., vs Brundage). (Tapology)
Must raise sprawl/underhook re-pummeling well above career 57% to keep kickboxing range; otherwise minutes bleed away. (ufcstats.com)
Unfavorable Scenarios (McConico)
Repeated stand-ups, mat returns, and back-exposes bleed rounds and create finishing threat.
Body attacks provoke level changes; back takes often follow off scrambles.
Likely Gameplan — Eric McConico
Outside-foot battle, jab/left to chest to disrupt entries; punish level changes with uppercut/knee; circle off fence.
Force a low-event kickboxing match to chase minutes and judges’ optics.
🎯 Fight Prediction Analysis
Simulation-weighted model using volume/accuracy, TD offense/defense, and physicals
📊Detailed Analysis Summary
🎯Stylistic Edges
Range/physicals, output, and efficiency heavily favor Susurkaev, who also brings real takedown and submission threats. The 30-ft cage lets him pressure safely and reset when needed.
🧠Key Deciders
Initiative layers (jab/lead-leg kicks + level-change threat) to pin McConico on fence; McConico’s best response is intercepting entries and depressing pace. Wrestle-defense sustainability is pivotal.
🔮Victory Scenarios
Susurkaev wins most via sustained pressure: KO/TKO 46%, Submission 20%, Decision 16%. McConico’s share comes through counter striking and optics: KO/TKO 8%, Submission 3%, Decision 7%.
🏁Final View
Clear favorite status for Susurkaev (82–18). Risks that temper conviction: limited long UFC minutes and potential southpaw counters if pace collapses.

🏁Executive Summary
Baisangur Susurkaev holds clear, independent advantages across volume, efficiency, and grappling pressure against Eric McConico. Our model assigns 82% vs 18% win probabilities with aligned moneyline pricing around −456 / +456.
Win-method splits: Susurkaev — Decision 16% • KO/TKO 46% • Submission 20%; McConico — Decision 7% • KO/TKO 8% • Submission 3%. Totals: Under 2.5 rounds 62% (−163) / Over 38% (+163); Fight goes to decision 23% (+335).
Only risks cooling conviction: potential southpaw counters if entries get predictable and the small sample of long UFC minutes. Overall, expectation is sustained initiative from Susurkaev with layered offense creating either a TKO or submission path, while McConico’s clearest route is depressing pace and landing clean intercepts.
