It did not take too long for the UFC to find a replacement for Matt Brown. After a torn ACL forced ‘The Immortal’ to pull out of his upcoming, against Carlos Condit, Combate reported Alex Oliveira verbally agreed to take on the former interim welterweight champion in Glendale, Arizona. The fight was later on confirmed by Ariel Helwani on Twitter.
Used to taking fights on short notice, Alex Oliveira (18-4-1-2NC) will try to recover from a TKO loss suffered in December, when he faced Yancy Medeiros.
