Rafael Fiziev will return to Baku to face Manuel Torres in the main event of UFC Fight Night 280 on June 27 at Baku Crystal Hall in Azerbaijan.
Fiziev enters the headliner with a 13-5 professional record and a 7-5 mark in the UFC. He previously fought at the promotion’s debut event in Baku last June, where he defeated Ignacio Bahamondes by unanimous decision.
Torres brings a 17-3 professional record and a 5-1 UFC slate into his first main event assignment. He is currently riding a two-fight winning streak, with first-round TKO victories over Drew Dober and Grant Dawson, both of which earned Performance of the Night bonuses.
Fiziev will look to rebound after being finished by Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 325 in February. Torres, who has finished all but one of his 17 professional wins, aims to extend his momentum on June 27 in Azerbaijan.
