Wendell Oliveira has a new opponent for next week's UFC Fight Night 67 event, as T.J. Waldburger has been forced out just a week and a half before the event.
According to a report from MMAFighting.com, undefeated English fighter Darren Till is stepping in for that matchup, which takes place from Goiania, Brazil, on May 30.
Oliveira made his debut in the UFC last September, a delayed debut after taking part in "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3." He was knocked out by Santiago Ponzinibbio in that debut, snapping a seven fight winning streak.
As for Till, he brings a 12-0 mark into the Octagon, having stopped ten of those opponents. That includes eight wins by (T)KO.
Next week's event airs live on Fox Sports 1, headlined by the welterweight between Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves.
