UFC Fight Night Baku 2 Results
The UFC returns to Azerbaijan on June 27 with a fascinating Fight Night card headlined by hometown favorite Rafael Fiziev taking on one of the division’s most dangerous finishers, Manuel Torres. The event marks the promotion’s second trip to Baku and features a strong mix of local talent, ranked contenders, and action fighters.
This feels like a crossroads fight.
Fiziev is still one of the most technical strikers at lightweight. His Muay Thai background, devastating body kicks, and experience against elite competition give him clear advantages in a five-round fight. The concern is durability and momentum, having lost four of his last five bouts against top competition.
Torres is chaos in human form. Nearly all of his UFC victories have come by first-round finish, and he throws with bad intentions from the opening bell. If he can force exchanges early, he has the power to end the fight quickly.
