Bogdan
Guskov plans to prepare several approaches for his upcoming
fight against former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight
champion Robert
Whittaker.
The light heavyweight contender expects a difficult challenge when
he meets Whittaker in the
UFC Sydney co-main event. Guskov (18-4-1) will face Whittaker
(27-9) on Feb. 7, 2027, at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia.

Speaking to Red Corner MMA, Guskov emphasized the importance of
having alternatives if his initial strategy fails.
“Well, he’s a former champion. There’s a number of keys, but which
one will actually work is to be found out in the Octagon,” Guskov
said. “I am going to have several tricks. It’s not just one trick I
am going to use. Something might not work.”
Guskov acknowledged that Whittaker’s experience and ability make
him a difficult opponent to prepare for.
“So what am I going to do next? I don’t need to get things. Messed
up like that. We have enough time to prepare. So we are going to
have at least three or four keys [to victory]. Either way, Robert
is not just a random dude off the street. He will be preparing some
stuff, and I don’t know the way he is going to fight.”
Bogdan Guskov reacts to his recently
announced matchup against former middleweight champion Robert
Whittaker at UFC Fight Night Sydney on February 7, promising to put
on another spectacular performance. “Of course, I will try to
produce a spectacular performance. Spectacular fights are what they
love me for. I will be chasing a KO,” he told Red Corner MMA.— Red Corner MMA (@RedCorner_MMA)
