Although initially concerned visa issues would halt his plans, Charles Oliveira today agreed to replace injured Matt Wiman and now meets “The Ultimate Fighter 8” winner Efrain Escudero at next month’s UFC Fight Night 22 event.
A representative from Gold Team Fighters USA, which reps Oliveira, today confirmed the booking with MMAjunkie.com.
As MMAjunkie.com reported on Thursday, Wiman recently suffered a training injury, and the lightweight was expected to be pulled from the card.
