Guskov wants Costa fight; Baraniewski says Guskov declined their bout

Bogdan Guskov expressed interest in sharing the octagon with Paulo Costa. However, Ivo Baraniewski stated that he had agreed to fight Guskov but Guskov did not accept the matchup. Baraniewski, describing himself as a Russian guy who grew up in Uzbekistan, said he is ready to compete anytime and vowed to make Guskov "swallow those words." Gor Azizyan suggested that Guskov became overconfident after beating Kopylov and Azamat, and needs to have his "wings clipped."
