Zhumagulov recently announced the pairing via social media. The UFC Fight Night card takes place at an as yet to be revealed location and is expected to be headlined by a 135-pound scrap pitting Jose Aldo against Rob Font.

A native of Kazakhstan, Zhumagulov dropped decisions to Amir Albazi and Raulian Paiva in his first two promotional appearances before submitting Jerome Rivera in the opening frame at UFC 264 on July 10. The former Fight Nights Global title holder is 14-5 as a professional with seven wins via KO/TKO and one by way of submission.

Kape, meanwhile, is an ex-Rizin Fighting Federation bantamweight king with a 1-2 mark in UFC competition thus far. The AKA Thailand representative began his Octagon tenure with a unanimous decision loss to Alexandre Pantoja and a split-decision setback to Matheus Nicolau before scoring a first-round KO of Ode Osbourne in his most recent outing at UFC 265 on Aug. 7. Kape is 16-6 as a pro, with other notable wins against the likes of Kai Asakura, Takeya Mizugaki and Ian McCall.
