Nazim Sadykhov vs. Viacheslav Borshchev Added to UFC 295 on Nov. 11

A promising lightweight clash between Nazim Sadykhov and Viacheslav Borshchev has been added to the upcoming UFC 295 card.

Sadykhov announced the pairing on social media. UFC 295 is set to go down at the Madison Square Garden on Nov. 11 and will be headlined by a heavyweight title clash between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.

Sadykhov is currently riding a nine-fight winning streak with his lone professional loss dating back to his debut in 2018. The Azerbaijani-American made his UFC debut back in February, earning a third-round stoppage win over Evan Elder. “Black Wolf” subsequently sealed his status as a prospect with a second-round submission win over Terrance McKinney in July.

After a highlight-reel liver shot stoppage win over Dakota Bush in his UFC debut last year, Borshchev went on to drop consecutive decisions against Marc Diakiese and Mike Davis. However, the Russian has since bounced back with a bonus-winning knockout win over Maheshate Hayisaer earlier this year.
