Bogdan Guskov expressed interest in fighting Paulo Costa in the octagon. Meanwhile, a dispute has emerged with Ivo Baraniecki, who claims he accepted a fight with Guskov, but alleges that Guskov declined the matchup. Guskov's teammate Gor Azizyan supported the callout, suggesting Baraniecki should stop talking about Russian fighters if he won't accept a bout with Guskov. Azizyan referenced Baraniecki's recent wins over Kopylova and Azamat, stating it's time to "clip his wings." The back-and-forth has created interest in a potential Guskov-Baraniecki matchup, though no official fight has been signed.
