Canadian Jasmine Jasudavicius will have a different opponent at UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. Cortez in Denver.
The promotion confirmed on Monday that Jasudavicius's original opponent, Viviane Araujo, withdrew from the event and will be replaced by Fatima Kline for a Flyweight bout.
Jasudavicius last fought at UFC 297 in Toronto, defeating Priscila Cachoeira by submission. After her win on home soil, she earned a spot on the 125-pound leaderboard, slotting in as the No. 15 contender.
She heads into the July 13 event with a 10-3-0 record.
Kline, a relative unknown in the UFC picture, holds a 6-0-0 professional MMA record, including two KO/TKOs and a submission. She is currently the Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) women's title holder in both its strawweight and flyweight divisions.
She'll now make her promotional debut in Denver's Ball Arena against the St. Catherines, Ont. native who's won three of her last four fights.
Headlining the event will be a flyweight contest between former two-time UFC women's strawweight champion, and current No. 6 flyweight contender, Rose Namajunas and No. 11 Tracy Cortez.
