A featherweight matchup between Nazim Sadykhov and Mateus Camilo is reportedly being targeted for UFC Baku on June 27, according to Ag. Fight. The bout has not received official confirmation from the UFC and should be treated as a developing report.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," would be fighting on home soil in Azerbaijan, adding an extra layer of significance to the contest. The 32-year-old southpaw holds a 4-1-1 record inside the octagon and an overall professional mark of 11-3-1. Standing five-foot-ten with a 69-inch reach, Sadykhov trains out of Longo-Weidman MMA and brings a well-rounded offensive game to the cage, averaging 4.79 significant strikes per minute at a 49 percent accuracy rate, while also contributing on the ground with 1.1 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Camilo enters with a 1-1 octagon record, giving him a point-to-prove quality heading into a difficult road assignment against a fighter competing in front of his home crowd.
Why it matters
- Sadykhov would be fighting in his home country of Azerbaijan, giving the event a local-hero narrative
- A win could push Sadykhov further up the divisional standings after building a solid UFC record of 4-1-1
- Camilo, still finding his footing in the octagon at 1-1, faces a steep test against an experienced and high-volume striker
- The fight remains unconfirmed, so its place on the card could still change before an official announcement
