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.
In his professional career, Bogdan Guskov has achieved 16 wins and suffered three losses. On April 27, at UFC on ESPN 55, Guskov secured a technical knockout victory in the second round against Ryan Spann.
