Summary
Jean Matsumoto at -155 is the analyst’s top UFC Baku pick, with Rafael Fiziev vs. Manuel Torres headlining Saturday’s June 27 event in Azerbaijan.
Matsumoto’s volume striking and average of three takedowns per 15 minutes are cited as the edge over Bekzat Almakhan, with another close decision seen as the likeliest outcome.
Michal Oleksiejczuk at +100 is the underdog selection against Abus Magomedov, based on improved form and an expectation that Magomedov’s cardio fades late.
Under 1.5 rounds at -120 in Ikram Aliskerov vs. Brunno Ferreira is the prop play, reflecting both fighters’ finishing power and Ferreira’s quick turnaround after a March KO loss.
Shara Magomedov and Asu Almabayev are the recommended parlay at -122, with the analyst projecting Magomedov to stop Michel Pereira and Almabayev to beat Charles Johnson by decision.
