Charles Oliveira vs. Clay Guida planned for UFC 225 with Bobby Green out

Clay Guida possibly has a new opponent for next month’s UFC 225 in Chicago.

Originally scheduled to face Bobby Green on June 9, “The Carpenter” will now take on Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert Charles Oliveira, who stepped up to replace Green on 10 days’ notice. The UFC announced the match-up on Wednesday.

According to sources close to the situation, Oliveira still needs to get a work visa and medical exams done before flying to Chicago next week.

Guida (34-17) fought for the last time in November, stopping Joe Lauzon in 67 seconds.
