UFC 225 just lost a big fight due to injury

UFC 225 has lost it’s first fight.  The event will feature the UFC’s return to Chicago and as such featured local legend Clay Guida in a showcase fight on FS1 against Bobby Green which was meant to get the UFC crowd started as the first fight shown on FS1

Clay Guida a veteran of over 50 professional fights, got his career started in Round Lake Illinois.  The 26 UFC fight veteran has an overall record of 34-17 including a two fight win streak with victories over Joe Lauzon and Erik Koch.  Bobby Green who is 24-8 overall has had a difficult run in the UFC with 3 straight losses to Edson Barboza, Dustin Poirier, and Rashid Magomedov interrupted by a DRAW over Land Vannata and a win in his last bout at UFC on Fox 27 against Erik Koch.  Green has had a difficult run in the UFC with injury.

Stepping in to replace Bobby Green will be Brazilian CHUTE BOXE star Charles Oliveira who will accept the short notice fight for UFC 225 against Clay Guida.  Oliveira had lost back-to-back fights against Anthony Pettis and Ricardo Lamas before beating Will Brooks and then suffering another loss, this time to Paul Felder at UFC 218.  Oliveira has had 31 professional fights with a career record of 22-8-1
