Abusupiyan Magomedov and Michal Oleksiejczuk are set to meet in the main event of UFC Baku on June 27, with the middleweight clash reported by Léo Walker Guimaraes. The booking comes after earlier reports from a separate source had denied the fight would headline the card, making this confirmation a notable reversal.
Oleksiejczuk, known as "Hussar," enters the bout with an overall record of 22-10 and a 10-7-1NC mark inside the octagon. The 31-year-old southpaw from Poland stands six feet tall with a 74-inch reach and trains out of Akademia Sportow Walki Wilanow. He is one of the more active strikers in the division, averaging 5.85 significant strikes landed per minute at 53 percent accuracy, making him a consistent offensive threat on the feet.
Magomedov holds a 4-3 UFC record and is likewise looking to gain ground in a competitive middleweight landscape. Verified data for his physical and performance metrics was not available at time of publication.
Why it matters
- A main event slot at UFC Baku gives both fighters a high-profile platform to push into the upper tier of the 185-pound division.
- Oleksiejczuk's high-volume striking output sets up an intriguing stylistic test against a fellow veteran with finishing ability.
- The contradicting reports surrounding the card's main event status suggest the UFC's Baku lineup is still taking shape close to the announcement window.
