UFC Baku emanates from the National Gymnastics Arena.
UFC returns to Baku for the second consecutive year, and this time the stakes are even higher. Live from the National Gymnastics Arena in Azerbaijan, UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs Torres promises a stacked 13-fight card on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
Headlining the event is a lightweight clash between hometown favourite Rafael Fiziev and Mexican knockout artist Manuel Torres. Fiziev, who was born in Kazakhstan and represents Azerbaijan, is making his second consecutive appearance in Baku.
He last fought in the city in June 2025, defeating Ignacio Bahamondes. However, with just one win over his last five outings, Fiziev needs a statement performance to reclaim his standing in the lightweight division.
Torres, meanwhile, arrives on the back of back-to-back first-round stoppages, most recently finishing Grant Dawson and Drew Dober. He has stopped all five of his UFC opponents inside the distance, and brings a single-minded, pressure-heavy style that poses a serious test for any fighter sharing the cage with him.
The co-main event is a middleweight showcase between Shara “Bullet” Magomedov and Michel Pereira — two of the most entertaining strikers in the sport colliding in what could be the most action-packed fight of the night. The card also features Brunno Ferreira vs Ikram Aliskerov and Asu Almabayev vs Charles Johnson on the main card.
