Antonina Shevchenko (5-0) will still headline next week’s Dana White’s Contender Series 11 event, albeit against a new opponent. Shortly after MMAjunkie reported that Silvana Juarez was forced to withdraw from the contest, UFC officials revealed that Jaimelene Nievera (7-3) has agreed to step in on short notice . Dana White’s Contender Series 11 takes place June 26 at The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas and streams live on UFC Fight Pass. Nievera has been fighting professionally since 2014, eventually earning a 2-1 mark under the Bellator MMA banner after opening on the regional scene.
