Baku again. On Saturday, the UFC returns to Azerbaijan for the second UFC Baku, this one headlined by a matchup between Rafael Fiziev and Manuel Torres with heavy implications at 155 pounds. But which lightweight is going to bring the flavor, and which one will throw his hands up in the air? Ahead of Saturday's event, MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee preview Fiziev vs. Torres and debate which lightweight is the only one. Additionally, the team will discuss the co-main event between Shara Bullet and Michel Pereira, a few truly great undercard fights, answer viewer questions, and more.
