A bout between Nazim Sadykhov (4-1-1 in UFC) and Mateus Camilo (1-1 in UFC) is in development and is expected to take place on June 27th at UFC Baku. The information comes from Brazilian outlet Ag. Fight. Both fighters will be looking to improve their UFC records in what appears to be an evenly matched contest. No official confirmation from the UFC has been announced yet.
According to Brazilian outlet Ag. Fight, a featherweight or lightweight matchup between Azerbaijani fighter Nazim Sadykhov and Brazil's Mateus Camilo is being finalized for UFC Baku on June 27th. The UFC has not yet issued an official confirmation, and the bout should be treated as unconfirmed for now.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," carries an overall professional record of 11-3-1 and has gone 4-1-1 inside the Octagon. The 32-year-old southpaw out of Azerbaijan trains with Longo-Weidman MMA and stands five-foot-ten with a 69-inch reach. He is an active striker, averaging 4.79 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, and adds a modest takedown threat at 1.1 per 15 minutes.
Camilo enters with a 1-1 mark in the UFC, looking to climb back to the winning side of the ledger after a mixed start to his promotional career.
Why it matters
- Sadykhov would be fighting on home soil in Azerbaijan, giving him a significant crowd advantage at UFC Baku.
- A win would push Sadykhov closer to establishing himself as a consistent Octagon presence with a 5-1-1 UFC record.
- Camilo needs a victory to avoid falling to a losing record in the promotion, raising the stakes for both men.
- The reported even matchup on paper suggests the UFC views this as a competitive mid-card contest rather than a showcase fight.
