With Tom Lawlor (9-5) being forced to pull out of his light-heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night Dublin, the UFC have announced that newly signed middleweight Chris Dempsey will now face Swede Ilir Latifi on 19th July.
Dempsey is 10-1 as a professional with 3 submissions, 2 KO/TKOs and 5 decisions to his name with his only loss coming via submission back in September 2012 against Mojtaba Najim Wali.
