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

Rafael Fiziev confirmed he will compete at UFC Baku on June 27 in an interview with journalist Janer Akbaba. The Turkish journalist stated he knows the opponent's identity but cannot reveal it yet, noting it will be one of three fighters: Dan Hooker, Manuel Torres, or Brian Ortega. Yesterday, reports surfaced that Manuel Torres has signed a contract for a bout, strongly suggesting Fiziev versus Torres will be finalized for Baku. The only remaining question is whether this matchup will serve as the main event or co-main event of the card.
