Fighter Profiles & Styles

Jasmine Jasudavicius (“The Canadian,” Ontario, Canada): 14-4-0 overall (UFC record ~7-3). 5’7″, 125 lbs. A well-rounded veteran with elite grappling (multiple submission wins), improving striking, and relentless body work. Trains out of a Canadian camp; known for high fight IQ, durability, and the ability to rebound from setbacks. Ranked in the top 10 and a home-country favorite in front of a pro-Canada crowd.

Karine Silva (“Killer,” Brazil): 19-6-0 overall (UFC record building). 5’5″, 125 lbs. Explosive finisher with strong striking and submission threats (8 career subs). Dangerous early with high output, but has shown vulnerabilities in extended decision fights against volume strikers/grapplers. Ranked around the top 10 but on mixed recent form.

Recent Form
Jasudavicius enters off a quick stoppage loss but with strong wins prior:

Oct 18, 2025 – KO/TKO loss (R1, 1:14) vs. Manon Fiorot (UFC Fight Night).

May 10, 2025 – Submission win (RNC, R1, 2:40) vs. Jessica Andrade (UFC 315).

Feb 1, 2025 – Unanimous decision win vs. Mayra Bueno Silva (UFC Fight Night).

Nov 2, 2024 – Submission win (R3, 2:28) vs. Ariane Lipski (UFC Fight Night).
The 37-year-old has bounced back from defeats throughout her UFC career and owns a five-fight win streak before the Fiorot setback.

Silva is coming off a decision loss and sits at 1-2 in her last three:

Dec 6, 2025 – Unanimous decision loss vs. Maycee Barber (UFC 323).

Aug 16, 2025 – Unanimous decision win vs. Dione Barbosa (UFC 319).

Nov 16, 2024 – Unanimous decision loss vs. Viviane Araujo (UFC 309).

Apr 27, 2024 – Unanimous decision win vs. Ariane Lipski (UFC Fight Night).
The 32-year-old has struggled to finish or dominate in recent high-level bouts that go the distance.

Fight History & Key Matchup Notes
Jasudavicius is the taller, more experienced Octagon veteran with proven durability and grappling edges that could neutralize Silva’s early aggression. Silva brings finishing power and youth but has been outpointed in her last two decision losses. This is a ranked women’s flyweight clash with title implications: Jasudavicius’ body-attack style and late-round control vs. Silva’s explosive output. Expect a technical, high-pace battle that likely goes deep—both women have strong chins, but Jasudavicius has never been finished in recent memory while Silva’s recent form shows cardio questions against pressure. Home-crowd energy in Winnipeg heavily favors the Canadian.
