Lauren Murphy gets new opponent in debuting Kelly Faszholz at UFC Fight Night 83

Three fighters pulled out of bouts due to injury at UFC Fight Night 83, which is scheduled for this Sunday in Pittsburgh, and the UFC found their opponents replacements on short notice.

The latest? Debuting Kelly Faszholz will meet Lauren Murphy, who was originally supposed to face Sarah Moras in a women's bantamweight bout on the card.

Murphy (8-2), the former Invicta FC women's bantamweight champion, has lost both of her fights in the UFC, but against elite opponents Liz Carmouche and Sara McMann. The 32-year-old Alaska native trains out of the MMA Lab in Arizona.
