The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the bout on Wednesday. UFC
275 takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore,
on June 11 and is headlined by a light heavyweight title clash
between Glover
Teixeira and Jiri
Prochazka. In the co-main event, Valentina
Shevchenko defends her flyweight belt against Taila
Santos.
Kape was supposed to face Su Mudaerji
at UFC Fight Night 205 last month but had to withdraw a few days
prior due to personal reasons. The former Rizin 135-pound champion
began his promotional tenure with two straight losses but has
rebounded to post back-to-back triumphs against Ode
Osbourne and Zhalgas
Zhumagulov in his last two Octagon appearances.
Bontorin, meanwhile, is winless in his last four UFC bouts after
winning his first two outings in the promotion. Most recently, the
Dana White’s Contender Series alum dropped a split verdict to
Brandon
Royval at UFC on ESPN 32.
