Every result from Baku, where a first-strike knockout and a run of finishes rewarded anyone who called the finishers over the decision-hunters.
UFC Fight Night landed at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku on June 27, and if you built your app picks around finishes, this was your night. Five of the eight bouts on the tracked card ended inside the distance, and the marquee welterweight result went the way of the local favorite. Tahir Abdullayev (now 20-3-0) closed the show against Jefferson Nascimento (13-1-0) with a KO/TKO in round three at the 4:28 mark, handing the Brazilian the first loss of his professional career. That is the headline: an undefeated record cracked in the main event, and the fighters who trusted their power got paid off across the board.
If there was one moment that separated the sharp picks from the hopeful ones, it came in the light heavyweight bout. Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev stayed perfect at 10-0-0 by flattening Julius Walker (7-3-0) with a KO/TKO just eight seconds into round one. Eight seconds. Anyone who tapped Yakhyaev by knockout in the app barely had time to look up before it was over. It is the kind of instant result that reshapes how a division reads a prospect, and it keeps his unbeaten run intact in emphatic fashion.
The clearest upset on paper came in the bantamweight clash. Jean Matsumoto carried an 18-2-0 record into a decision fight with Bekzat Almakhan (12-4-0) and took all three rounds to earn the nod at the 5:00 mark of round three. On records alone Matsumoto was the stronger resume, so the upset here is really about the fighters who backed the grinder to get his hand raised over a full fifteen minutes rather than betting on a finish that never came. It was one of only three decisions on the tracked card.
The rest of the card kept the pace brutal:
Two undefeated records held firm — Yakhyaev and Hasanov both walked out clean — while Nascimento’s spotless run ended in the main event. The story of Baku was tempo: submissions and knockouts outnumbered the judges’ cards, and the fighters carrying momentum turned potential into finishes. For pick’em purposes, the lesson is simple — the card rewarded conviction over caution.
If you called the finishers, take the bragging rights to the group chat. If Baku caught you leaning on the safe decisions, the next card is your chance to correct it. Lock in your picks before the walkouts and see if you can read the next room better than this one.
