Bogdan Guskov challenges Paulo Costa after declining Ivo Baranievski bout

Bogdan Guskov has expressed interest in fighting Paulo Costa while declining a proposed matchup with Ivo Baranievski. According to Baranievski, he accepted the fight with Guskov but the Uzbekistan-born Russian fighter did not accept the bout. Guskov, who is described as a Russian who grew up in Uzbekistan, stated he is ready to share the cage anytime and will make his opponent swallow his words. Gor Azizyan commented that Guskov has been talking excessively after victories over Kopylova and Azamat, suggesting Guskov needs to have his wings clipped. Azizyan added that if Guskov doesn't accept a fight with Bogdan, he should stop discussing the Russian theme entirely.
