Shayna Baszler's injury has shaken up two different fight cards for the UFC, as they've pulled Amanda Nunes from UFC on Fox 11 to move her a few days earlier to "The Ultimate Fighter: Nations" Finale.
Nunes was supposed to face UFC newcomer Alexis Dufresne on the April 19 Fox card, but with a slot opened up opposite former Strikeforce Champ Sarah Kaufman, she'll make her return to the cage three days earlier.
The UFC announced the shift on Thursday, though Dufresne's status for the Fox card is not yet known.
Kaufman is making her second UFC appearance, with her first fight resulting in a no contest after Jessica Eye's failed drug test for marijuana. Nunes enters with consecutive TKO victories in the UFC in 2013.
"The Ultimate Fighter: Nations" Finale hits Quebec City on April 16, airing live on Fox Sports 1.
