Talita de Oliveira in for de Randamie vs. Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night 115


Marion Reneau has a short-notice replacement opponent to keep her bout at UFC Fight Night 115 on Saturday in The Netherlands.

Brazil’s Talita de Oliveira (5-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will make her promotional debut, filling in for injured former women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie (8-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) against Reneau (7-3-1 MMA, 3-2-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 115. A UFC official confirmed the news to MMAjunkie following an initial report form MMABrasil.com.

Featuring a heavyweight headliner between Stefan Struve and Alexander Volkov, UFC Fight Night 115 takes place Sept. 2 at Ahoy Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The entire card streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

De Oliveira made her pro debut in early 2015 in Brazil. After a decision loss in her second fight, she has rattled off four straight wins, including a trio of submissions. Most recently, she picked up a rear-naked choke win in April in Poland.

Reneau hopes returns to action for the first time since a March majority draw with Bethe Correia at UFC Fight Night 106 in Brazil. Reneau has endured mixed results since making her way to the UFC, opening her octagon run with victories over Alexis Dufresne and Jessica Andrade before falling short against Holly Holm and Ashlee Evans-Smith. This past November, she picked up a TKO win over Milana Dudieva before the draw with Correia.

Former champ de Randamie was looking to fight for the first time since being stripped of her featherweight belt after refusing to defend it against top contender Cris Cyborg, who the Dutch fighter branded “a known and proven cheater.” The UFC’s decision brought to a close a strange chapter in the promotion’s history that saw de Randamie crowned champ after a hotly contested decision win over Holly Holm at February’s UFC 208.
