UFC Baku takes place Saturday. Hank Strandberg presents this handy viewers' guide:

UFC Baku prepares to rock the National Gymnastics Arena in Azerbaijan. In the main event, top lightweight strikers Rafael Fiziev and Manuel Torres are set to engage in a thrilling matchup. In the penultimate bout of the night, fan-favorite Russian star Sharabutdin Magomedov battles the towering and high-flying Michel Pereira.  

UFC Baku Main Event

Over the course of his seven-year tenure with the promotion, Fiziev has logged exciting fight after exciting fight, proven by his four Fight of the Night awards, two of which coming against current 155-lb king Justin Gaethje. Coming off a stunning knockout loss to Brazilian phenom Maurício Ruffy back in February, “Ataman” is seeking to propel himself back into the winner’s circle with a magnificent triumph in his home country.

Possessing one of the best finishing rates among active lightweights in the company, Torres has cemented his place as must-see-television whenever he steps into the Octagon. Owning impressive first round stoppage victories over the likes of Drew Dober, Chris Duncan, and Grant Dawson, audience members should refrain from getting up during “El Loco”’s match, as the end could come in a matter of seconds.

UFC Baku Co-Main Event

In a mere two years since making his debut, Magomedov has surged to become a popular name in the middleweight class. Getting back in the win column his last time out after a three round war with Marc-André Barriault at UFC on ABC 9, “Shara Bullet” is on a mission to regain his spot in the top 15 with a stunning performance at UFC Baku.

Previously holding an eight-fight win streak, Pereira has encountered a great deal of difficulty to stay in the winner’s circle, going just 1-3 in his last four tilts. Starting 2026 with a close split decision victory over Zachary Reese at UFC Fight Night 267, “Demolidor” must not only get his hand raised this weekend, but he must do so in splendid fashion in order to kick off another warpath towards the rankings.
