Former RIZIN champion Tofiq Musayev is getting a second shot at the UFC. The 36-year-old, who previously competed in Bellator and RIZIN, will face promotional newcomer Samuel Sanches at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on April 4. This is Musayev's second UFC attempt, with his debut in June 2023 ending in a first-round submission loss to Myktybek Orolbai. Sanches, a 23-year-old rising star, earned his UFC contract after a stunning performance on Dana White's Contender Series, where he knocked out Cage Warriors' Chasen Blair. The April 4 lineup also includes fights between Virna Jandiroba and Tabatha Ricci, Hailey Cowan and Alice Pereira, Alessandro Costa and Stewart Nicoll, Dione Barbosa and Melissa Gatto, Azamat Bekoev and Tresean Gore, and Tommy McMillen and Manolo Zecchini, as well as Guilherme Pat and Thomas Petersen.
