Tale of the Tape
Result Summary
Matheus Camilo stopped Nazim Sadykhov via TKO (punches) at 1:31 of round one in their lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Torres in Baku on June 27, 2026. After a brief feeling-out period, Camilo landed a straight right hand that sent Sadykhov crashing to the canvas.

Fight Overview
Azerbaijani striker Nazim Sadykhov steps into his home arena in Baku looking to rebound from a brutal TKO loss to Fares Ziam at UFC 323, where he was smothered against the fence and stopped in the final second of round two. Brazilian grappler Matheus Camilo arrives off his first UFC win — a grappling-heavy decision over Borshchev — and represents a stiff test of whether Sadykhov has addressed the clinch and pressure problems that derailed him last December.
Keys to Victory
Nazim Sadykhov
- Keep the fight at striking range and prevent Camilo from closing distance into the clinch where Sadykhov has shown vulnerability.
- Use his high striking volume early to establish timing and deter Camilo's takedown attempts before fatigue sets in.
- If the fight hits the fence, work active fence escapes and immediately reset to the center to reclaim striking space.
Matheus Camilo
- Pressure Sadykhov toward the cage early, as he struggles to disengage once an opponent traps him against the fence.
- Chain takedown attempts repeatedly to drain Sadykhov's gas tank and exploit the conditioning issues that surfaced in round two against Ziam.
- Once top position is secured, work controlled ground-and-pound rather than rushing submissions, neutralizing Sadykhov's knockout power from the bottom.
