“Paulo Costa has got a huge hype at the moment,” Guskov told Red Corner MMA. “He has just beat one of the boogeyman of our division. It would be certainly very cool for me to fight him. Even more so as he talked something about ‘Russian guys’. Here I am, a Russian fella who was raised in Uzbekistan, who’s ready to share the Octagon with him anytime. We will make him eat his own words.”
Changing His Tune?
Costa (16-4) handed Azamat Murzakanov his first professional loss at UFC 327 earlier this month. It was Costa’s second consecutive upset win over a Russian fighter. Costa clearly expressed his hatred for Russian fighters going into his bout against Murzakanov, while also calling out Khamzat Chimaev. However, Costa now claims that he specifically has an issue with “Chechen” fighters, not all Russias.
“Good call Bogdan. Nothing against Russians people I respect them. My things is more against [Chechen],” Costa wrote. “Man you Uzbek and getting offended as Russian?”
Guskov (18-3) was scheduled to fight Jan Blachowicz in a rematch at UFC 328 on May 9. However, Blachowicz is now out due to an injury.
