Gor Azizyan, the main coach and founder of the Gor MMA club, shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net about potential fights for his fighter Bogdan Guskov.
He will definitely have a fight before the end of the year. We were aiming for a match with Dominick Reyes or Anthony Smith, but the UFC paired those athletes against each other. Bogdan is very well-liked in the UFC. He has a long way to go before challenging for the title; at least another two years. However, he could break into the top five next year. Would they treat him the same way they did Magomed Ankalaev? I think not. Guskov is more vocal; he promotes his fights well. The UFC prefers him. If Bogdan were in Magomed's place, he would have been granted a title shot.
