Brazilian Talita de Oliveira has apparently agreed to step in on short notice to take on Marion Reneau for the UFC’s September 2nd card.

It looks like the UFC has managed to find a short-notice replacement for Marion Reneau after Germaine de Randamie pulled out of their bout less than one week away from fight night. MMA Brasil reports, Brazilian newcomer Talita de Oliveira has agreed to step in and save the match.

Talita de Oliveira (5-1) comes into the fight on a four-fight winning streak in the Brazilian and Polish MMA circuits, with three of those wins coming by way of submission and one by decision. Her sole loss came in April 2015, when she was defeated by Juliana Velasquez via unanimous decision.

Marion Reneau (7-3-1) will try to find a win, after her March 2017 bout with Bethe Correia ended with a majority draw. Before that, she scored a TKO win over Milana Dudieva in November of last year. Her last loss came in February 2016, when she was bested by Ashlee Evans-Smith via split decision.

Marion Reneau will meet Talita de Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 115, on September 2, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The card will be headlined by a heavyweight match between Stefan Struve and Alexander Volkov.
