Career overview
Bogdan Guskov, fighting out of an Orthodox stance at 6'3" and 205 pounds, holds an 18-3-1 professional record with recent form showing four wins, one loss, and one draw across his last six outings. The Russian light heavyweight operates primarily as a volume striker, landing 4.57 strikes per minute with 55% accuracy while absorbing 4.09 strikes per minute and maintaining 44% striking defense.
Guskov has never attempted a takedown in his UFC career (0.00 TD avg, 0% accuracy) but poses a consistent submission threat with 0.7 submission attempts per fifteen minutes, reflecting his grappling acumen. His recent resume includes a first-round knockout of Nikita Krylov in July 2025, a second-round submission finish of Billy Elekana in January 2025, and a first-round TKO over Zac Pauga in February 2024, though he suffered a first-round submission loss to Volkan Oezdemir in September 2023.
Most recently, Guskov fought to a majority draw against Jan Blachowicz in December 2025, suggesting competitive matchmaking at the division's upper tier. With an unranked status, Guskov remains a streaky performer capable of explosive finishes but inconsistent against elite-level opposition.
