Light heavyweights Bogdan Guskov and Nikita Krylov wanted to continue their climbs in the division with an emphatic show at UFC Abu Dhabi.

Guskov was confronted with an opponent with almost twice his experience and turned out to be the dangerous threat in the octagon as soon as the fight began.

Bogdan Guskov continues the top 10 climbing with brutal knockout on UFC Abu Dhabi
Guskov kept the Grijp -Aas Krylov upright as long as their fight lasted at UFC Abu Dhabi. Guskov found success with his kickboxing early and landed various brutal legs in the opening minutes.
While the clock tapped to the last minute of round 1, Guskov Krylov caught with a direct right that his opponent flat. Guskov did not succeed in having Krylov recover his calmness and follow the right hand with various brutal ground and pounds before the referee waved the fight.

Guskov returned to the Win-Kolom and expands his current four-fighting streak, with a most recent entry from Billy Elekana on UFC 311. It was a bizarre victory for Guskov in January, because he demonstrably submitted Elekana before the fight was eventually eliminated.
Before UFC 311, Guskov earned recent finishes from Zac Pauga and Ryan Spann to bounce back after a defeat in the first round against former title challenge Volkan Ozdemir.
Anthony Smith's Lookalike earns wild finishing only a few months after the legend retirement
Online, Guskov is known to many fans for his parable with recently retired light heavyweight Anthony Smith. Despite the fact that Guskov and Smith look alike, and after Guskov's many attempts to get in the Octagon with Smith, the fight never flourished.
Smith chose to hang the gloves after a TKO loss for Mingyang Zhang in UFC Kansas City earlier this year. He deserved victories against people like Rashad Evans, Shogun Rua and Hector Lombard during his UFC official period.
In the meantime, Guskov will probably experience a new seasoned name in the light heavyweight division for his next fight. A matchup with a former title -seconder Dominick Reyes can be logical for the return of Guskov to the Octagon.
