Damian Pinas warns Baisangur Susurkaev to be careful what he wishes for.

Pinas (11-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) called out Khamzat Chimaev's teammate Susurkaev (12-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) after knocking out Cesar Almeida at UFC 329 in June. Last week, Susurkaev claimed that he had a fight booked after Pinas "was afraid" to fight him.

Pinas, who scored another brutal first-round knockout of Andrey Pulyaev at UFC 332 earlier this month, says it's Susurkaev who doesn't want to fight.

"I moved from Susurkaev because he wasn't accepting the fight," Pinas told MMA Junkie. "He didn't want the smoke. So that's why I say, 'OK, move forward. Let's go to a top 15.' But if he still wants the smoke, let the UFC send the contract. Let's get it booked. Let's fight 12th December. Let's get it."

While Pinas dreams of fighting Israel Adesanya or top contender Brendan Allen, he'd be more than happy to shut Susurkaev up at UFC 335 on Dec. 12 in Las Vegas. Susurkaev is a finishing machine in his own right, most recently choking out Djorden Santos at UFC 328.

"Yeah, of course, to show the world that he is not unbeatable," Pinas said of fighting Susurkaev. "People can beat him. I can beat him, easy. He got a few lucky fights. All the fights he's won, he was losing. He was losing all of the fights – he just got lucky and won at the end. But with me, that's not going to happen. You're not going to get the chance to get lucky. T-Mobile Arena, that's what I want. Any opponent they can give me. Anyone going to get it. 12th December, T-Mobile Arena, let's go."

Pinas later posted on social media to indicate that the grudge match may very likely happen at UFC 335.

"Guys am thinking that i am fighting p*ssykeav next

12 dec Vegass."
