There's been a change to this month's UFC Fight Night 67 event in Goiania, Brazil, as Combate in Brazil reports that Renato Carneiro is injured and out of a fight with Mirsad Bektic.
Stepping into that matchup is Lucas Martins, who hopes to bounce back from a split decision loss to Darren Elkins in his last fight in October.
Martins had won three straight fights in the UFC prior to that fight, each in a different weight class, and he looked very good last July in his debut at 145 lbs.
He'll try to get that momentum back against Bektic, the undefeated 24-year-old who has won both of his UFC appearances to date. The most recent win came in January, where he defeated Paul Redmond in a solid fight at UFC on Fox 14 in Sweden.
UFC Fight Night 67 airs live on Fox Sports 1, headlined by the welterweight bout between Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves.
