Overview
- The card takes place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku and will stream on Paramount+ in the United States.
- The main event pairs hometown fighter Rafael Fiziev, who is 13-5 and has lost four of his last five UFC fights, against Manuel Torres, a 17-3 knockout specialist with 16 stoppage wins.
- Early betting markets list the fight as a near pick’em with Fiziev around -120 and Torres around +100, reflecting a close matchup that could end quickly given Torres’ high first-round finishing rate.
- The published fight card includes a six-bout main card and seven prelims with co-main Michel Pereira vs. Shara Magomedov and regional broadcast windows on TNT Sports, HBO Max or UFC Fight Pass depending on territory.
- Beyond the result, the bout matters for fighters’ careers because a Fiziev win would mark a key rebound in front of his home crowd and a Torres stoppage would likely accelerate his move into lightweight title conversations.
