Nazim Sadykhov and Mateus Camillo came face to face at their staredown on Thursday, setting the stage for their bout at UFC Baku on Friday.
Sadykhov, known as "Black Wolf," carries an 11-3-1 record into the fight and will be competing on home soil in Azerbaijan. The 32-year-old southpaw trains out of Longo-Weidman MMA and stands five-foot-ten with a 69-inch reach. He is an active striker, landing 4.79 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy, and adds a modest ground dimension to his game with 1.1 takedowns per 15 minutes. Fighting in front of a home crowd in Baku figures to add an extra layer of atmosphere to his performance.
Verified data for Camillo was not available at the time of publication, so further detail on the Brazilian's record and statistical profile could not be confirmed.
Why it matters
