Bogdan Vladimirovich Guskov[1] (born 12 September 1992) is an Uzbekistani professional mixed martial artist who competes in the Light Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of 10 December 2024, he is #13 in the UFC light heavyweight rankings.[4]

Early life

[edit]

Guskov was born in the village of Dukent in Uzbekistan to an ethnic Russian family.[5] He grew up poor and has been involved in sports since childhood, first in athletics, then in volleyball. Subsequently, he started going to the gym and became interested in street fighting. Guskov's mother was against her son engaging in martial arts, but the aspiring fighter was helped out by his aunt, who paid for boxing and kickboxing sessions until Guskov won a competition and classes became free. He also attended the Dukent Radio Engineering College, where he received a secondary specialized education as a welder.[1]

At the age of 19, Guskov moved to Moscow, leaving sports for 3 years, where he got a job as an installer of ventilation systems, and due to low wages, he began working as a bouncer in a club. He returned to sports at the age of 22, participating in several boxing and kickboxing tournaments. While working at the club, Guskov had the pseudonym "Yugoslav," and his first fights went under the nickname "Hugo". Later, he gave himself the nickname "Czarevitch," explaining that he wanted something unusual. While participating in boxing and kickboxing tournaments, he did not find the same emotions and decided to switch to MMA.[1]
