Sarah Kaufman has had trouble finding UFC opponents so far, and after another one dropped out at UFC on FOX 17 next, the Canadian will indeed get a fight.

UFC newcomer Valentina Shevchenko (9-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will step in for the injured Germaine de Randamie make her octagon debut opposite Kaufman (17-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a women’s strawweight bout at the Dec. 17 event at Orlando’s Amway Center.

UFC officials today confirmed the matchup on UFC.com.

Kaufman has not fought since UFC 186 in April when she suffered a second-round submission loss to Alexis Davis. Kaufman had previously defeated Davis twice but came up short in the third attempt when she was caught in an armbar.

Between injuries and fight cancellations, Kaufman has competed just three times since her promotional debut in October 2013 and will hope to get a streak of activity going at UFC on FOX 17.

Shevchenko will make her octagon debut on short notice; however, she already had a scheduled fight date on Jan. 22 under the Legacy FC banner. “Bullet” has earned seven of her nine career victories by stoppage. Her lone career loss came in September 2010 against former UFC title challenger Liz Carmouche and will bring a four-fight winning streak into her octagon debut.
