Reports out of Brazil's Ag. Fight indicate that a welterweight or lightweight matchup between Nazim Sadykhov and Mateus Camilo is in the works for UFC Baku, targeted for June 27. The bout has not been officially confirmed and remains in the finalization stage, with no weight class or card positioning announced.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," brings a 11-3-1 overall record and a 4-1-1 mark inside the UFC. The 32-year-old Azerbaijani southpaw trains out of Longo-Weidman MMA and stands five-foot-ten with a 69-inch reach. He has proven to be an active and accurate striker, averaging 4.79 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, and supplements his standup with 1.1 takedowns per 15 minutes. Fighting in front of a home-country crowd in Baku would add an extra dimension to his participation in this event.
Camilo enters the contest with a 1-1 record through his first two UFC appearances. The verified data on file does not include additional career or physical statistics for the Brazilian fighter at this time.
Why it matters
- Sadykhov would be competing in Azerbaijan, giving him a significant home-crowd advantage at UFC Baku
- A win for Sadykhov would push his UFC record to 5-1-1 and potentially elevate his divisional standing, while Camilo needs a victory to avoid falling to 1-2 in the promotion
- The style matchup and weight class remain unconfirmed, leaving key context about divisional stakes still to be determined
