Bogdan
Guskov is now used to the chaotic package that is Valter
Walker.

Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters Guskov and Walker are
training partners at Gor
MMA under head coach Gor Azizyan. The latter has a loud
personality and rarely hesitates to pull off embarrassing pranks in
public, and the former was his latest victim.

Dhabi

In his latest prank, the Brazilian bizarrely touched Guskov's
manhood on camera. However, Guskov has learned to be unfazed by
Walter's antics.

Guskov believes Walker has chaos inside his head. While Guskov
doesn't understand Walker, he considers “The Foot Hunter†a friend.
The Uzbek fighter neither took the incident seriously in any way
nor tried to stop Walker from posting it on social media.

“He is a f*cking moron. A fool. A f*cking idiot. I didn't expect
that. I don't understand him at all,†Guskov told Red Corner MMA.
“He's got chaos in his head. We've got to get used to his
stupidity. As they say, he is a moron, but he's our own moron. Our
homie… [No intrusive thoughts] at all. It's Valter. What intrusive
thoughts? He ran away as I wanted to slap him. He knows that I
don't take such things lightly… Try not to let him post anything;
he would go home and still post it. And then won't show up. He's a
godsend to a spy.â€

Guskov (18-3) is stepping up on 14 days' notice against Magomed
Ankalaev (20-2) in the main event at
UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25. Meanwhile, Walker (15-1) takes on
Thomas
Petersen (11-4) in a heavyweight matchup on the same card.

Ultimate Fighting Championship legend Jon Jones
believes Ciryl Gane's
confidence will play a key role in a rematch against Tom
Aspinall.

Gane (14-2) challenged Aspinall (15-3) for the heavyweight title in
their first meeting at UFC 321
last October. However, the fight ended in an unfortunate no-contest
after a double eye poke by Gane in the first round rendered
Aspinall unable to continue.

While Aspinall subsequently underwent eye surgery, Gane defeated
Alex
Pereira to win the interim heavyweight title at
UFC Freedom 250. “Bon Gamin” is now expected to challenge
Aspinall in a title unification bout next and Jones believes the
Frenchman will come out on top.

Why Jon Jones believes Ciryl Gane has the edge over Tom
Aspinall

According to Jones, Gane's confidence is soaring after his win over
Pereira. The former champion also notes that Aspinall was looking
invincible until he faced Gane at UFC 321. Notably, many, including
UFC CEO Dana
White, opined that the two-time interim champion was winning
the fight as long as it lasted.

“I believe Gane's going to win,†Jones told Ring Magazine. “When
you become the champion and you beat a man like Alex Pereira, it
has to do something for your confidence. Even in Gane's first fight
with Tom Aspinall, Tom was looking pretty invincible until Ciryl
Gane. And most people feel like Gane was winning that fight. I feel
like Gane's confidence has to be at an all-time high.â€

Jones returned to the Octagon after three years against Gane in
2023, with the vacant heavyweight title on the line. “Bones” made
quick work of the French heavyweight with a guillotine choke in the
very first round. Meanwhile, the American has a contentious
relationship with Aspinall, with the duo going back and forth
repeatedly before Jones ultimately vacated the belt.
