A welterweight matchup between Azerbaijani fighter Nazim Sadykhov and Brazilian prospect Mateus Camilo is reportedly being finalized for UFC Baku on June 27, according to Ag. Fight. The bout has not been officially confirmed by 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 southpaw from Azerbaijan trains out of Longo-Weidman MMA and stands five-foot-ten with a 69-inch reach. He is an active striker, landing 4.79 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, and supplements his standup with 1.1 takedowns per fifteen minutes, making him a well-rounded threat on the feet and on the mat.
Camilo enters the reported matchup with a 1-1 UFC record. Further verified data on the Brazilian fighter was not available at the time of reporting.
