Bogdan Guskov wants Paulo Costa fight; Baraniewski says Guskov declined him

Bogdan Guskov expressed his desire to share the Octagon with Paulo Costa. According to Ivo Baraniewski, he agreed to fight Guskov, but Bogdan declined the bout. Guskov's team, including Gor Azizyan, responded that Guskov, described as a "Russian guy who grew up in Uzbekistan," is ready to compete anytime. They criticized Baraniewski for his recent talk after defeating Kopylova and Azamat, saying they need to "clip his wings" and suggested if Baraniewski doesn't accept the bout with Guskov, he should stop talking about the "Russian theme."
