Jasmine Jasudavicius delivered a stunning performance at UFC 315, held on May 10, 2025, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Canadian flyweight faced off against former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade in a highly anticipated bout that showcased Jasudavicius's skills and determination. Coming into the fight on a four-fight win streak, Jasudavicius aimed to solidify her status as a rising contender in the UFC women's flyweight division.
As the fight began, Andrade, known for her aggressive style, came out strong with her signature forward pressure, attacking Jasudavicius's long stance with leg kicks. However, Jasudavicius, utilizing her reach advantage, kept Andrade at bay with precise punches. After landing a couple of solid shots, Jasudavicius executed a successful takedown, slamming Andrade to the mat.
Once on the ground, Jasudavicius quickly transitioned to Andrade's back, flattening her opponent and working towards a rear-naked choke. The Canadian fighter found her opening and, with remarkable skill, snuck her arm under Andrade's chin, forcing the former champion to tap out at 2:40 of the first round. This victory marked a significant milestone in Jasudavicius's career, showcasing her ability to compete against top-tier fighters.
