With T.J. Waldburger out due to a back injury, Wendell Oliveira has a new opponent for UFC Fight Night 67.
The Brazilian welterweight, who still looks for his first UFC win, will now meet undefeated Darren Till, sources told MMAFighting.com. UFC Fight Night 67 takes place at the Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil, on May 30.
Till (12-0), born in Liverpool and based in Santa Catarina, Brazil, was booked to meet Sergio de Fatima at Imortal FC 1 on June 13, but pulls out of the card to meet “Negao” in Goiania. The English welterweight has finished 10 of his previous 12 opponents, eight by knockout.
Oliveira (24-8), a member of the third TUF: Brazil season, was matched twice against Waldburger in 2015, but the opponent pulled out in both occasions. Oliveira won 18 of his last 19 before signing with the UFC, losing to Santiago Ponzinibbio in September.
