The game of musical chairs has continued for Chris Beal at next week’s UFC Fight Night 50.

With Dustin Kimura (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) now injured, Beal (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will meet Tateki Matsuda (10-5, 0-0 UFC) in a bantamweight bout on the preliminary card in Connecticut. Beal had been scheduled to face Rob Font before being paired up with Kimura, whose original opponent, Ian Entwistle, was injured as well. But now Kimura is out, paving the way for Matsuda.

UFC officials announced the change Friday morning at UFC.com. The nature of Kimura’s injury was not revealed.

Featuring a middleweight headliner between Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Gegard Mousasi, UFC Fight Night 50 takes place Sept. 5 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn. The card airs on FOX Sports 1.

Matsuda was a contestant on Season 14 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” but lost his elimination-round bout to get into the house, dropping a decision to Dustin Pague. But after that, the Boston-based product of Team Sityodtong’s Mark DellaGrotte has gone 4-2, including a pair of first-round stoppage wins.

Beal made his UFC debut in April and instantly became part of the promotion’s highlight reels thanks to a perfectly placed flying-knee knockout of Patrick Williams at UFC 172, which earned a “Performance of the Night” bonus. That kept the Californian, a product of Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” unbeaten in pro competition.

Kimura came to the UFC as an undefeated prospect but has had mixed results since then. In his UFC debut, he defeated Chico Camus, but he’s since alternated results, sandwiching losses to George Roop and Mitch Gagnon around a win over Jon delos Reyes. Now the Hawaiian puts his quest to get back in the win column on hold.

With the change, the new UFC Fight Night 50 lineup includes:

MAIN CARD (FOX Sports 1, 9 p.m. ET)

Gegard Mousasi vs. Ronaldo Souza

Alistair Overeem vs. Ben Rothwell
