Dennis Bermudez to face Rony Jason at UFC Salt Lake City event

Dennis Bermudez will look to climb back up the featherweight ladder in August when he fights in Salt Lake City. Somewhat surprisingly, his opponent will be Rony Jason, who is unranked and returning from a PED suspension.

Bermudez (15-5, 8-3 UFC) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Tatsuya Kawajiri in February. Before that, he lost two bouts in a row to Jeremy Stephens and Ricardo Lamas.

Jason (14-5, 1 NC, 4-2, 1 NC UFC) has competed just twice in the last two years, losing a split decision to Robbie Peralta and defeating Damon Jackson.
