Fresh from an impressive win over Eddie Gordon earlier this year, Pennsylvania prospect Chris Dempsey will make the move to light heavyweight on August 8 for a late-notice bout in Nashville against unbeaten newcomer Jonathan Wilson.
Dempsey replaces the injured Jared Cannonier.
The UFC Fight Night card, which is headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Ovince Saint Preux and Glover Teixeira, will be televised live on FOX Sports 1 from the Bridgestone Arena.
