Every fighter on the UFC Baku card successfully made weight at Thursday's official weigh-ins, clearing the path for a full fight night with no complications across six divisions.
The main event is set after Rafael Fiziev and Manuel Torres both stepped on the scales at the lightweight limit of 155 pounds. Torres, nicknamed "El Loco," carries a 17-4-0 record into the contest. The 31-year-old Mexican southpaw-to-switch fighter out of Entram Gym is one of the more prolific strikers in the division, landing 7.29 significant strikes per minute at a 59 percent accuracy rate. He also adds a grappling dimension, averaging 1.72 takedowns and 0.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
