Matt Van Buren is getting another opportunity to fight in the Octagon this summer, as he'll take on newcomer Jonathan Wilson at UFC Fight Night 74 in Nashville.
The Ultimate Fighter season 19 runner-up has been beaten badly in his two UFC appearances thus far, getting stopped by Corey Anderson and Sean O'Connell. Overall he's lost four of five fights, but the UFC's decided to give him one more shot.
He'll welcome Wilson to the Octagon, who enters with a perfect 6-0 record. He's finished five opponents in that stretch.
The UFC Fight Night 74 card will air live on Fox Sports 1 on Aug. 8, the UFC's first trip back to the city in three and a half years, and will be headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Ovince St. Preux and Glover Teixeira.
