Shara Magomedov and Michel Pereira are set to clash in the middleweight co-main event of UFC Baku at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Magomedov enters the matchup with a professional record of 16-1 and is seeking his sixth UFC win in seven outings. He is coming off a decision victory over Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC Abu Dhabi.
Pereira brings a 32-14 record with 2 no contests into the co-main event. He previously endured a three-fight losing streak, including two knockout losses, before rebounding with a split decision win over Zachary Reese.
Tensions between the middleweights have already surfaced, as the fighters were separated after a physical faceoff on Friday.
