TORONTO – Jasmine Jasudavicius was nothing short of dominant in front of her home province crowd at UFC 297 . Jasudavicius (10-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) became the first Canadian fighter to register a win on Saturday’s card at Scotiabank Arena, using her superior grappling to completely overwhelm an overmatch Cachoeira (12-6 MMA, 4-6 UFC) before finishing the fight with an anaconda choke late in the third round of the women’s bantamweight bout. Cachoeira was en route to losing a lopsided decision before Jasudavicius locked up the choke to get the tap at the 4:21 mark of Round 3.

Jasudavicius shined, and said she was proud to put her home country on the board at UFC 297. “I got to show a lot more of my grappling,” Jasudavicius said in her post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier.
