UFC Baku Fight Card: Full Main Card & Prelims Lineup
Twelve fights. Two cards. One historic Baku debut on June 27, 2026.
By Fight Night Baku Desk · Published · Updated
The official UFC Baku fight card closes at 12 bouts — a seven-fight main card and a five-fight prelim block — and the running order finally clicked into place this week. Rafael Fiziev headlines in front of his own people. Manuel Torres flies in with the loudest pop in the Mexican lightweight class. In between you get a stacked middleweight wave, a light-heavy banger, and three Azerbaijani prospects on home soil. Below: every bout, every weight class, every ET start time.
Note one late change: the original heavyweight clash between Rizvan Kuniev and Tyrell Fortune was cancelled, so the running time tightens up a bit. Everything else holds.
