UFC Baku weigh-in results: All 26 fighters make weight

All 26 fighters made weight Friday for UFC Fight Night 280 in Baku, Azerbaijan, setting 13 bouts for Saturday's card streaming on Paramount+.

Rafael Fiziev and Manuel Torres both hit 156 pounds for the five-round lightweight main event. Fiziev, fighting out of Kazakhstan, is looking to snap a rough stretch that has seen him go 1-4 in his last five outings, including a TKO loss to Mauricio Ruffy earlier this year. Two of those defeats came against current champion Justin Gaethje, though a win over Ignacio Bahamondes proved he remains a threat.

Torres riding two-fight streak into first UFC main event

Torres enters on a two-fight win streak, having stopped Drew Dober and Grant Dawson by TKO. The Mexican lightweight suffered a setback against Bahamondes in 2024 but has since rebounded with consecutive finishes. Saturday marks his first UFC headliner.

The co-main event features Sharabutdin Magomedov at 186 pounds against Michel Pereira, who came in at 185.5. Matheus Camilo and Nazim Sadykhov both weighed 156 for their lightweight clash, while Asu Almabayev checked in at 126 pounds opposite Charles Johnson at 125.5 for a flyweight matchup.

UFC Baku streams live on Paramount+ beginning at 9 a.m. ET Saturday, with the main card kicking off at noon ET.
