Featherweight Andre Fili is scheduled to face Jeremy Larsen at UFC 166 on Oct. 19 in Houston.

Fili, who has won eight straight fights and is 12-1 overall, will be making his UFC debut.

Larsen was originally set to face Matt Grice, but Grice was seriously injured in a car accident. Charles Oliveira replaced Grice, but he had to pull out of the fight with an injury.

Larsen is 0-2 during his UFC tenure. He was knocked out by Lucas Martins in the third round at UFC on FX 8 in his last Octagon appearance.

UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will defend his title against Junior dos Santos in the main event.
