What happened: UFC Baku takes place Saturday, June 27, with Rafael Fiziev facing Manuel Torres in the lightweight main event. The card streams from Azerbaijan, with the UFC promoting a 9 a.m. ET start on Paramount+. It marks one of the promotion's first trips to Baku.

Why it matters: The matchup pits two aggressive strikers against one another, and Fiziev carries added meaning competing in front of an Azerbaijani crowd given his ties to the region. A standout performance would help Fiziev climb back up a deep lightweight division, while a win for Torres would mark a significant step up in competition.

What to watch: Watch for the final fight-week weigh-ins and whether Fiziev, known for his high-volume kicking attack, can impose his pace early against Torres' pressure.
