Brazilian Luiz Henrique da Silva will be making his UFC debut in June in California as he will meet Jonathan Wilson on the preliminary card of UFC 199.
The fight booking was revealed by the UFC on Thursday.
UFC 199 will come from The Forum in Inglewood, California and will be headlined by a title fight rematch as Luke Rockhold defends the UFC middleweight title against former UFC champion Chris Weidman.
Henrique da Silva (10-0) is coming off a win against UFC vet Ildemar Alcantara in January and all of his wins have come by TKO/KO. Eight of his ten wins have come in the opening round and his win over Alcantara came in the second round. Wilson (7-0) was also signed by the UFC last year and won his promotional debut against Chris Dempsey by knockout. It was his sixth career win by TKO/KO and five of those wins have come in the opening round.
