Promotion officials recently announced the bout. The UFC Fight Night card takes place at SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow and will likely air on Fight Pass. A headliner for the event has not been announced.
Ray, 25, made his Octagon debut on April 11, scoring a second-round knockout of Marcin Bandel at UFC Fight Night in Krakow, Poland. The former Cage Warriors Fighting Championship titlist is 17-5 as a professional, including 13 wins by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
After losses in his first two promotional appearances, Texeira picked up his first UFC triumph on March 21, when he captured a unanimous decision victory against Cain Carrizosa. The 26-year-old American Top Team product had fallen to Thiago de Oliveria Perpetuo and Rick Story in his first two Octagon outings.
