Light Heavyweights Jonathan Wilson, Luiz Henrique da Silva to Clash at UFC 199

A battle of unbeaten light heavyweights is set for UFC 199, as Jonathan Wilson will take on Luiz Henrique da Silva on June 4.

Promotion officials recently announced the bout. UFC 199 takes place at the Forum in Los Angeles and is headlined by a middleweight title rematch between Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman. In the co-main event, Dominick Cruz defends the bantamweight strap against Urijah Faber.

Wilson earned his seventh professional victory in his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night Nashville last August, knocking out Chris Dempsey in 50 seconds.
