Robert Whittaker to Face Bogdan Guskov at UFC Sydney

The promotion announced the light heavyweight bout on Sunday for the event, which is scheduled to take place at the Afterpay Arena. The card will also include a main event featuring Quillan Salkilld against Benoit Saint Denis.

Whittaker, 35, is coming off a third-round technical knockout victory over Nikita Krylov at UFC 329 in July. This matchup marks his second appearance in the light heavyweight division since transitioning from middleweight.

His opponent, Bogdan Guskov, holds a victory over Krylov from 2025. Guskov enters this contest following a draw against Jan Blachowicz and a loss to Magomed Ankalaev earlier this summer.
