An injury has scratched Al Iaquinta from UFC 218, and Charles Oliveira is in to face fellow lightweight Paul Felder at UFC 218.

MMAjunkie confirmed the news with multiple people close to negotiations after an initial report from MMAFighting.com. The people asked to remain anonymous because the news had not been made public.

UFC officials haven’t made a formal announcement.

UFC 218 takes place Dec. 2 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. The main card airs live on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Felder (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) and Oliveira (22-7 MMA, 10-7 UFC) are expected to headline the FS1-televised prelims.

Iaquinta (13-3-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who’s No. 14 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, was set to make his return after a successful UFC comeback. After a one-year layoff due to an injury and contract squabble with the promotion, he knocked out veteran Diego Sanchez at UFC Fight Night 108 in April.

In his place goes Oliveira, a 28-year-old Brazilian who recently rebounded from a 1-3 skid to submit former Bellator lightweight champion Will Brooks in the first round at UFC 210.

Felder, meanwhile, hopes to make it three in a row after recent knockout wins over Alessandro Ricci and Stevie Ray.

Like Oliveira, 32-year-old Felder is looking to enter the division’s top 15.
