Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports

Undefeated light heavyweight Henrique Frank Waisten has inked a deal with the UFC, and his debut is targeted for UFC 199 against unbeaten Jonathan Wilson, sources told MMAFighting.com. The pay-per-view event takes place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on June 4.

Waisten (10-0) has scored every single one of his wins by knockout, eight in the opening round. In his most recent fight, "Frankenstein" stopped UFC veteran Ildemar Alcantara in the second round.

Wilson (7-0) made his UFC debut last August, finishing Chris Dempsey in just 50 seconds at UFC Fight Night 73. Before signing with the UFC, "Johnny Bravo" knocked out five of six opponents.

UFC 199 features Luke Rockhold vs. Chris Weidman for the middleweight crown in the main event, while bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz defends his title against Urijah Faber in the co-main event.
