MMABrasil.com broke the news that Talita de Oliveira has been signed by the UFC and will face Marion Reneau this Saturday (September 2, 2017) at UFC FIght Night 115 in The Netherlands. The Brazilian fighter is replacing Germaine de Randamie, who is off the card with an injured hand.
Oliveria (5-1) heads into this matchup on a three-fight win streak, with all of those victories coming by submission. The 30-year-old was slated to face Alexa Connors last month at LFA 21, however, her opponent was pulled from the fight at the last minute due to a weight cut issue.
Reneau (7-3-1) hasn’t competed since March, when she came away with a majority draw against Bethe Correia at UFC Fight Night 106 in Brazil. “Belizean Brusier” has gone 3-2-1 in the UFC.
