UFC Fight Night 260 tournament in Baku Crystal Hall

On June 21, 2025, Baku will become not just a city on the map, but the epicenter of world MMA. That evening, the Baku Crystal Hall (USC named after M. Auezov in the Central Recreation Park) will host the first ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) tournament on Azerbaijani soil – UFC Fight Night 260. 

This is not just a sporting competition; it is a cultural event of global scale, marking the UFC’s entry into an exciting new arena. Imagine: the red-hot atmosphere of the octagon, merging with the energy of an ancient city on the shores of the Caspian Sea, adrenaline rushing over the edge, and the unpredictable drama of fights. This is UFC Fight Night 260!

The spotlight is on an explosive light heavyweight showdown. On one side of the cage is Jamal Hill, a former UFC champion known for his devastating punching power and tactical intelligence, eager to return to the top. He faces Khalil Rountree, a title challenger whose speed, aggression, and unpredictability make him one of the most dangerous fighters in the division. These are more than just opponents; they are the embodiment of ambition, resentment, and unrealized potential. Neither one came here to lose. Expect more than just a fight; expect a war of strategy, will, and inhuman endurance, where every punch can be fatal and every round is fueled by hatred and a thirst for triumph. This is a battle for the right to talk about the title again.
