A pair of bouts have been added to UFC 165 on September 21st in Toronto as Stephen Thompson faces Chris Clements in a welterweight bout and Mark Bocek meets Michel Prazeres in a lightweight bout.
Both fights were initially tweeted by Joe Ferraro of Sportsnet.ca and the UFC has confirmed the report.
UFC 165 takes place on September 21st from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and will be headlined by Jon Jones defending the UFC light heavyweight title against Alexander Gustafsson.
Thompson (7-1) opened his UFC career with a knockout of the night victory over Dan Stittgen at UFC 143. After losing to Matt Brown at UFC 145, he returned at UFC 160 and defeated Nah-Shon Burrell by unanimous decision.
Clements (11-4, 1NC) entered the UFC last year and won his debut at UFC 145 against Keith Wisniewski by split decision. He returned at UFC 149 against Matt Riddle and was defeated by submission. However, the fight was declared a no contest when Riddle failed his post fight drug test.
