Guskov calls out Costa, claims Baraniewski fight was declined

Bogdan Guskov has expressed interest in fighting Paulo Costa in the octagon. According to Ivo Baraniewski, he accepted a fight with Guskov, but Bogdan declined the matchup. Guskov, describing himself as a Russian guy who grew up in Uzbekistan, stated he's ready to compete anytime and promised to make his opponent "swallow those words." Training partner Gor Azizyan supported Guskov, suggesting Costa needs to be brought down a notch after victories over Kopylova and Azamat. Azizyan added that if Costa doesn't accept a fight with Guskov, he should stop talking about "Russian themes."
