Zhalgas Zhumagulov set to face Joshua Van at UFC Jacksonville

After a series of unfortunate events, Zhalgas Zhumagulov is ready to step back into the octagon and seize the opportunity at the UFC Jacksonville Fight Night extravaganza this Saturday. Initially slated to face Felipe Bunes at UFC Vegas 75, Zhumagulov's hopes were dashed when his opponent withdrew just a week before the event. However, the determined flyweight fighter is undeterred and eager to break free from his three-fight losing streak.

Now, Zhumagulov finds himself pitted against the debuting Joshua Van.

After a remarkable start to his professional career, including capturing the Fight Nights Global Flyweight Championship in 2018, 'Zhako' secured a UFC contract. However, as he ventured into the octagon, the media, and fans were quick to question his losses to Raulian Paiva, Jeff Molina, and Charles Johnson.

Making his UFC debut in 2020, Zhumagulov's journey in the promotion has been a rollercoaster ride. While facing formidable opponents, he managed to secure a solitary victory over Jerome Rivera at UFC 264.
