Sarah Kaufman, who would face Shayna Baszler in the TUF Nations Finale, has a new opponent. It will be the Brazilian Amanda nunes, who agreed to replace Baszler after the American fighter's injury last week.
Initially, Amanda was scheduled to face Alexis Dufresne at UFC on FOX 11, an event that will take place just three days after the TUF Nations Finale. At 25 years old, the Brazilian is looking for her third victory in three fights in the UFC, as she recently overcame Sheila Gaff and Germain de Randamie by technical knockout.
Kaufman, three years older, is one of the most experienced fighters in the UFC's women's bantamweight division. With 16 wins, two defeats and one no-contest In her record, the Canadian will make her second fight in the organization. In her debut, in October last year, she lost to Jessica Eye in the judges' decision, but saw the fight end without result after her rival was caught in an anti-doping test. Thus, his last defeat was in August 2012, when he was finished by Ronda Rousey at Strikeforce.
The main fight of the TUF Nations Finale, in Quebec City, Canada, on April 16, will be between Michael Bisping and Tim Kennedy.
