Rafael Fiziev to fight at UFC Baku on June 27, opponent likely Manuel Torres

Rafael Fiziev confirmed in an interview with journalist Janer Akbaba that his next fight will take place at UFC Baku on June 27. Akbaba stated he knows the opponent's identity but cannot reveal it yet. However, he noted that the opponent will be one of three fighters: Dan Hooker, Manuel Torres, or Brian Ortega. Information emerged yesterday that Manuel Torres has signed a fight contract, which strongly suggests the matchup will be Fiziev versus Torres in Baku. It remains unclear whether this bout will serve as the main event or co-main event of the card.
