Next week's UFC Fight Night 67 event in Goiania, Brazil, has gotten a minor change, as an injury to Yan Cabral has taken him out of a fight with K.J. Noons.
According to a report from MMAFighting.com, Alex Oliveira has stepped in to replace Cabral, leaving Noons on the May 30 card.
This is Oliveira's second straight short notice fight, coming off the heels of an entertaining fight with Gilbert Burns at UFC Fight Night 62. Oliveira was winning that fight, but got caught late in the third round with an armbar.
The 32-year-old Noons is unbeaten in his last three fights since a decision loss to Donald Cerrone in his UFC debut. In his most recent fight, it ended early in a no contest due to eye pokes he delivered to Daron Cruickshank.
Next week's event hits Fox Sports 1, headlined by the welterweight bout between Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves.
