Bogdan Guskov is Uzbekistan's breakout light heavyweight and one of the division's most violent finishers — all 18 of his career wins have come by knockout or submission, never by decision. After dropping his short-notice UFC debut to Volkan Oezdemir in 2023, he rattled off four straight finishes, including a first-round knockout of Nikita Krylov. Last time out he fought former champion Jan Blachowicz to a majority draw at UFC 323, coming up one round short of the biggest win of his career. The Abu Dhabi main event against Ankalaev is his first UFC headliner and by far the toughest test of his life.
