Rafael Fiziev is booked to face Manuel Torres in a lightweight main event at a UFC Fight Night on June 27 in Baku, Azerbaijan, per the 2026 schedule reported by CBS Sports. The matchup underscores the UFC’s continued international expansion, marking a notable stop in the Caucasus region. For Fiziev, it’s an opportunity to make a statement in a headlining role and push toward title contention at 155 pounds.
