Jasmine Jasudavicius: Title shot could come with UFC Edmonton win

Jasmine Jasudavicius is poised to make a statement at UFC Edmonton, where a victory could significantly boost her case for a title shot in the women’s bantamweight division. The fight comes amid a shifting landscape following Valentina Shevchenko’s decision to vacate the UFC flyweight title due to injury, which led to a vacant-title bout between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong at UFC 332.

Silva emerged victorious by unanimous decision, but Jasudavicius—who has faced setbacks like a hefty fine from the Manitoba commission—now has an opportunity to prove she belongs in the conversation for Silva’s next challenger. Meanwhile, other fighters like Erin Blanchfield, who was overlooked for a title opportunity at UFC 332, are also eyeing Edmonton as a platform to force the UFC’s hand in recognizing their potential.

The event also marks a return for Katlyn Cerminara, who will make history at 125 pounds after a 31-month layoff, adding another layer of intrigue to the card.
