Featherweights Dennis Bermudez and Rony Jason set to fight at UFN 92
<p>A featherweight bout between Dennis Bermudez and Rony Jason <a href="http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/6/23/12021162/dennis-bermudez-vs-rony-jason-added-to-ufc-fight-night-92-in-salt">has been added</a> to UFC Fight Night 92 in Salt Lake City.</p>
<p>After suffering from back-to-back losses for the first time in his UFC career, Bermudez (15-5) was able to bounce back by beating #14 ranked Tatsuya Kawajiri via unanimous decision in February. The former All-American Division 1 wrestler was riding a seven-fight win streak that included wins over the likes of Max Holloway and Clay Guida before being submitted by Ricardo Lamas in the first round of their bout at UFC 180.</p>
<p>Rony Jason (14-5, 1 NC) is coming off of an overturned submission win over Damon Jackson last year in May. Jason had originally submitted Damon Jackson with a triangle choke in the first round, earning himself a <em>Performance of the Night </em>bonus, but tested positive for a banned diuretic which resulted in his win being overturned into a no-contest and his bonus being forfeited. Prior to that, Jason suffered a split-decision loss to Robbie Peralta at the TUF Brazil 3 finale.</p>
<p>UFC Fight Night 92 will be headlined by featherweights Yair Rodriguez and Alex Caceres at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 6. Also on the card is a bout between Cub Swanson and Tatsuya Kawajiri as well as Court McGee and Dominique Steele.</p>
