A featherweight or lightweight contest between Azerbaijani fighter Nazim Sadykhov and Brazil's Mateus Camilo is being targeted for UFC Baku on June 27, according to a report from Ag. Fight. The matchup has not been officially confirmed, and further details on the bout agreement are still expected.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," brings a notably stronger UFC resume into this potential matchup. The 32-year-old southpaw from Azerbaijan holds a 4-1-1 record inside the promotion, part of an overall 11-3-1 professional mark. Fighting out of Longo-Weidman MMA, Sadykhov stands five-foot-ten with a 69-inch reach and has shown consistent offensive output, landing 4.79 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate. He also averages 1.1 takedowns per 15 minutes, giving him a well-rounded skillset across striking and grappling.
Camilo enters with a 1-1 record through two UFC appearances, giving him a smaller sample of promotional experience to draw from. No further verified career statistics are available for the Brazilian at this stage.
Why it matters
- Sadykhov fighting in Baku gives the Azerbaijani fighter a significant home-crowd advantage at a landmark UFC event held in his home country
- A win would push Sadykhov toward more meaningful divisional positioning at featherweight or lightweight
- For Camilo, the bout represents a high-stakes opportunity to post a second UFC win and avoid falling to 1-2 inside the promotion
- The weight class remains unconfirmed, adding a layer of uncertainty to how both fighters' styles will translate on the night
