Reports out of Brazil indicate that a lightweight contest between Nazim Sadikhov and Mateus Camilo is in the works for UFC Baku on June 27, though the matchup has not received official confirmation from the promotion. Brazilian outlet Ag. Fight first reported the development.
Sadikhov has built a 4-1-1 record inside the UFC octagon, making him one of the more experienced fighters in this reported pairing. The Azerbaijani lightweight has shown steady progress in the promotion and would be fighting in front of a home crowd should the bout be finalized for the Baku card.
Camilo carries a 1-1 mark in UFC competition, giving him something to prove as he looks to establish himself firmly in the lightweight division. The Brazilian needs a strong showing to build momentum at this level.
Why it matters
- A Baku card appearance would give Sadikhov a significant home-crowd advantage in what is shaping up to be a marquee event in Azerbaijan
- Both fighters are in pivotal moments of their UFC careers, making the outcome meaningful for each man's divisional standing
- The lightweight division remains one of the most competitive in the sport, and any win carries weight in terms of rankings movement
Because the report comes from a single outlet and no official announcement has been made, the matchup should be treated as unconfirmed until the UFC releases it on an official fight card. Details surrounding the broader UFC Baku event remain limited at this stage.
