Fourth straight stoppage win
Guskov defeated Nikita Krylov via KO (punches) at 4:18 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Guskov continues his rise up the thin light heavyweight rankings, doing so in dominating fashion. A monstrous power puncher, Guskov floored Krylov with a right hand a little over four minutes in. He the unloaded follow-up shots until referee Marc Goddard had seen enough. Bogdan lacks secondary offensive skills, and his striking defense is questionable, but the power is very clearly legitimate. He's now won four in a row dating back to February 2024, all via stoppage. He's due for a big fight in a 205-pound division that needs all the legitimate contenders it can find.

Third straight stoppage win
Guskov defeated Billy Elekana via submission (guillotine choke) at 3:33 of Round 2 at UFC 311 on Saturday in Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
Agreeing to face Elekana on just days' notice following the withdrawal of Johnny Walker (undisclosed), Guskov gave up an immediate, easy takedown before hanging on and taking advantage of his clearly exhausted opponent. Bogdan managed to reverse position on the mat and nearly choke Elekana out in the closing stages of Round 1. He proceeded to dominate on the feet the entirety of Round 2 before earning the submission win late in the frame. Guskov's gas tank is a question mark, but the finishing ability is legitimate. He's won three in a row, all via stoppage, on the heels of a knockout loss to Volkan Oezdemir in his September 2023 company debut.
