Jasmine Jasudavicius is gearing up for a women's flyweight clash against Priscila Cachoeira at the upcoming UFC 297 pay-per-view event scheduled to take place on Jan. 20, 2024, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
Jasudavicius earned her spot in the UFC by securing a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2021. The 34-year-old Canadian fighter made her promotional debut at UFC 270, facing Kay Hansen, where she convincingly notched a unanimous decision victory.
The women's 125-pounder has been considered the underdog in four out of her five UFC bouts, and impressively, she emerged victorious in three of those instances. In her most recent fight at Noche UFC, she came up short against Tracy Cortez, losing via unanimous decision.
