A lightweight bout between Nazim Sadykhov and Mateus Camilo is reportedly in advanced stages of negotiation for UFC Baku on June 27, according to Ag. Fight. The matchup has not received official confirmation from the UFC.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," carries a professional record of 11-3-1 and has gone 4-1-1 inside the Octagon. The 32-year-old Azerbaijani southpaw trains out of Longo-Weidman MMA and stands five feet ten inches tall with a 69-inch reach. His UFC tenure has shown a well-rounded offensive game, landing 4.79 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy while also contributing 1.1 takedowns per 15 minutes. Fighting in front of a home crowd in Baku would add an additional dimension to what is already a strong domestic story.
Camilo enters the bout with a 1-1 record in the promotion and is looking to reestablish momentum with a winning performance. His verified data was not available in the AgentMMA database at time of publication.
Why it matters
- Sadykhov fighting at home in Baku gives the card a genuine local headline narrative, with UFC debuting in Azerbaijan

- Camilo needs a victory to avoid falling to 1-2 in the promotion and keep his UFC tenure on track
- The reported advanced negotiation stage suggests an announcement could come soon, though fans should await official UFC confirmation
