A welterweight matchup between Nazim Sadykhov and Mateus Camilo is reportedly being finalized for UFC Baku, scheduled for June 27th, according to Ag. Fight. The bout has not yet been officially confirmed.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," carries an overall record of 11-3-1 and has gone 4-1-1 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 built a reputation as an active striker, landing 4.79 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, while also mixing in takedowns at a rate of 1.1 per 15 minutes. Fighting in front of a home-country crowd in Baku would add extra significance to the outing for Sadykhov.
Camilo enters the reported matchup with a 1-1 record through his first two UFC appearances in the welterweight division. The verified data available does not include additional biographical or statistical details for the Brazilian fighter at this stage.
Why it matters
- Sadykhov fighting in Azerbaijan gives the promotion a recognizable local name for what figures to be a high-profile regional card
- A win would push Sadykhov toward the upper tier of UFC welterweight contenders after a competitive run in the division
- For Camilo, the assignment represents a chance to record a signature victory and stabilize his footing in the promotion following a split start to his UFC career
- The style matchup pits Sadykhov's high-volume striking output against an opponent still establishing his identity at this level
