Unmatched Russian fighter **Baisanhur Susurkaev** (10-0 MMA, 1-0 [UFC](https://www.ufc.com)) has shared his ambitious plans for his career in mixed martial arts. The 24-year-old middleweight aims not only to become a UFC champion but also to set an enduring record for the most title defenses.

“I want to capture the title and achieve more defenses than Jon Jones or Anderson Silva — those guys had 14-15 defenses (though other sources state that Jones scored 12 successful title defenses, while Silva had 10 — Editor’s note: Championship). I want to be the greatest of all time.

It’s tempting to talk about legacy and history, but at the end of the day, it’s about the money. The money that will support me, my father, my family, and everyone I care about. Naturally, financial incentives are a strong motivation. Legacy is important, and I aspire to create one, but money is money,” Susurkaev stated in an interview with MMAJunkie.
