Damir Ismagulov vs. Thiago Moises booked for UFC Shenzhen

Damir Ismagulov will put his 13-fight unbeaten streak on the line against Thiago Moises at UFC Shenzhen on Aug. 31, multiple sources told MMA Fighting.

The event takes place at the Universiade Sports Centre in Shenzhen, China, and features 115-pound champion Jessica Andrade vs. Weili Zhang in the main event.

Ismagulov (18-2) won and defended the M-1 Challenge lightweight belt multiple times before signing with the UFC in 2018. The Kazakhstan-native entered the Octagon twice between December and February, defeating Alex Gorgees and Joel Alvarez.

Moises (12-3), a former RFA champion and LFA contender, inked a deal with the UFC after knocking out Gleidson Cutis at the Contender Series last August.
