Guskov wants Costa fight; Baraniecki claims Guskov declined matchup

Bogdan Guskov expressed interest in fighting Paulo Costa, calling him out publicly. However, Ivo Baraniecki claimed he agreed to fight Guskov but that Guskov did not accept the bout. Guskov identified himself as a Russian who grew up in Uzbekistan and said he is ready to share the cage anytime. Corner man Gor Azizyan supported the challenge against Baraniecki, saying Guskov has been talking too much after beating Sergey Kopylov and Azamat Murzakanov, and needs his wings clipped. Azizyan suggested that if Baraniecki does not accept a fight with Guskov, he should stop talking about Russian fighters.
