Nazim Sadykhov will get a homecoming when he meets Nikolas Motta at UFC Baku.
Both fighters confirmed the lightweight booking following an initial report from MMAjunkie.com. The UFC Fight Night event takes place at Baku Crystal Hall in Baku, Azerbaijan, on June 21 and is headlined by a light heavyweight showdown between Khalil Rountree and Jamahal Hill.
A native of Baku, Sadykhov is 3-0-1 in his first four Octagon appearances — with a draw against Viacheslav Borshchev the only blemish on his ledger thus far.
