A middleweight bout between Tom Watson (15-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Stanislav Nedkov (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is the latest addition to February's UFC on FUEL TV 7 card.

UFC officials recently announced the bout.

UFC on FUEL TV 7 takes place Feb. 16 at London's Wembley Arena. The main card airs on FUEL TV following prelims on Facebook.

It's not clear where Watson vs. Nedkov will be placed on the card.

Watson, a former BAMMA champion, signed with the UFC earlier this year after an 11-1 run that included victories over John Maguire, Matt Horwich and Murilo "Ninja" Rua. However, in his promotional debut, he suffered a narrow split-decision loss to Brad Tavares at UFC on FUEL TV 5.

He looks to get back on track against Nedkov, who began his career with a 12-0 mark, which included a TKO win over Luiz Cane in his UFC debut. Nedkov, who drops from light heavyweight to middleweight for this latest bout, then suffered a submission loss to Thiago Silva at UFC on FUEL TV 6. But the November bout overturned the fight and declared it a no-contest after Silva tested positive for marijuana metabolites.

With the addition to the card, the UFC on FUEL TV 7 lineup now includes:

Renan Barao vs. Michael McDonald - for interim bantamweight title
Dennis Siver vs. Cub Swanson
Che Mills vs. Matthew Riddle
Ryan Jimmo vs. James Te Huna
Terry Etim vs. Renee Forte
Stanislav Nedkov vs. Tom Watson
Danny Castillo vs. Paul Sass
Ulysses Gomez vs. Phil Harris
Vaughan Lee vs. Motonobu Tezuka
Josh Grispi vs. Andy Ogle
Cyrille Diabate vs. Jimi Manuwa
Justin Edwards vs. Gunnar Nelson
