UFC Baku has its main event locked in. Abusupyan Magomedov and Michal "Hussar" Oleksiejczuk will meet at middleweight on June 27 in Azerbaijan, with the bout confirmed to headline the promotion's return to Baku.
Magomedov carries a 4-3 record inside the UFC octagon into the fight. The middleweight has built a reputation as a dangerous finisher, and a main event slot in his home region of Azerbaijan adds significant weight to the matchup.
Oleksiejczuk enters with a 22-10-0 overall record and one of the more productive UFC careers in the division's mid-tier, going 10-7 with one no contest across his time with the promotion. The 31-year-old from Poland trains out of Akademia Sportow Walki Wilanow and brings a well-rounded offensive game to the cage. Standing six feet tall with a 74-inch reach and fighting out of a southpaw stance, the Hussar lands an impressive 5.85 significant strikes per minute at 53 percent accuracy, marking him as one of the more volume-heavy strikers in the middleweight division. He also adds a modest takedown threat at 1.02 attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- A main event victory would give Magomedov a significant platform in front of a hometown-friendly crowd and push him further up the middleweight rankings conversation.
- Oleksiejczuk's high striking output sets up a potential stand-and-trade affair that could deliver fireworks at the top of the card.
- UFC Baku represents the promotion's continued expansion into new markets, making the main event slot carry extra promotional stakes beyond divisional positioning.
