Maybe this one will stick around for Sarah Kaufman – and it’s a rematch. The Canadian on Tuesday night got her third opponent for next week’s TUF Nations Finale in the form of Leslie Smith (6-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who will meet Kaufman (16-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) next week in Quebec. Kaufman and Smith, who will be making her UFC debut first met in a “Fight of the Night” performance won by Kaufman at Invicta FC 5 a year ago. UFC officials announced the new matchup on Tuesday night after Amanda Nunes (9-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) fell off the fight with Kaufman with a broken hand. Nunes had been a late replacement for Shayna Baszler, who also fell off with an injury. The TUF Nations Finale takes place April 16 at Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City and serves as the finale for “The Ultimate Fighter: Nations.” The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass
