Antonina Shevchenko to make UFC debut in November

Antonina Shevchenko, the older sister of UFC women's flyweight title hopeful Valentina Shevchenko, will make her UFC debut on The Ultimate Fighter Finale card Nov. 30 in Las Vegas, sources told ESPN.

Shevchenko will face Ashlee Evans-Smith in a fight that will take place at 125 pounds, sources said.

Shevchenko (6-0) earned a UFC contract after she defeated Jaimee Nievera on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders Series in June.

Evans-Smith (6-3) is coming off a unanimous decision win over Bec Rawlings at UFC 223 in April. That fight marked her flyweight debut.

The promotion has yet to announce a main event for the card.

The Shevchenko sisters could arguably be the most talented siblings in MMA right now. Valentina Shevchenko will face Nicco Montano for the women's flyweight title Saturday at UFC 228.
