UFC Baku happens TODAY (Sat., June 21, 2025) inside Baku Crystal Hall In Baku, Azerbaijan. The main event, for the promotions first-ever trip to the South Caucuses, is Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. in the Light Heavyweight division. Rountree Jr. gets his second main event in a row, despite not being an “elite” fighter, according to one UFC analyst.
UFC Baku’s co-main event is Rafael Fiziev vs. Ignacio Bahamondes. The pressure will be on “Ataman,” who is returning to his home nation to fight there for the very first time. He’ll have his hands full with Bahamondes, though, who is willing “to die” on enemy soil.
Rounding out the main card is Curtis Blaydes vs. Rizvan Kuniev, Myktybek Orolbai vs. Tofiq Musayev, Nazim Sadykhov vs. Nikolas Motta and Muhammad Naimov vs. Bogdan Grad.
UFC Baku’s “Prelims” are headlined by Oban Elliott vs. Seokhyeon Ko. The undercard also has Ismail Naurdiev vs. Jun Yong Park and Tagir Ulanbekov vs. Azat Maksum.
