UFC Baku weigh-in results: 13 fights set

All 26 fighters successfully made weight at the UFC Baku weigh-ins, clearing the way for UFC Fight Night 280 to proceed Saturday in Azerbaijan. The 13-fight card features lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev in the main event against Manuel Torres, each fighter tipping the scales at 156 pounds for their five-round clash.

Fiziev (13-5), a Kazakhstani fan-favorite known for his aggressive style, enters on a rough stretch: just 1-4 in his last five fights following a recent TKO loss to Mauricio Ruffy. However, he has shown his caliber with a win over Ignacio Bahamondes and losses to current champion Justin Gaethje. Torres (17-3), the Mexican fighter making his UFC main-event debut, rides a two-fight win streak powered by recent TKO victories over Drew Dober and Grant Dawson, though he suffered a 2024 defeat to Bahamondes.

UFC Baku streams live on Paramount+ beginning at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT Saturday, with the main card starting at noon ET/9 a.m. PT.
