Two new fights have been added to the UFC Fight Night 67, as Combate.com reports that Jussier Formiga will take on Wilson Reis, while Wendell Oliveira meets T.J. Waldburger.
Formiga is 3-2 in the UFC's flyweight division, though the three wins have come in his last four fights. The losses both came to top five competitors in Joseph Benavidez and John Dodson, but he's come back strong. His win over Zach Makovsky last August solidified his top ten spot, and he's hoping to make a push towards the title picture.
Reis has won three of his four fights since coming to the UFC, including both of his appearances in the flyweight division. In his most recent fight in October, Reis submitted Scott Jorgensen in the first round.
Waldburger and Oliveira were supposed to fight last month in Brazil, but Waldburger passed out while cutting weight and the bout was canceled the day before the event. The UFC is opting to book the two together once again on this card, which hits Goiania on May 30.
The card will air live on Fox Sports 1, headlined by a welterweight matchup between Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves.
