Jasmine Jasudavicius made her statement in the UFC women's featherweight division Saturday, grinding out Erin Blanchfield on the canvas to secure a unanimous decision. Jasudavicius controlled the fight wherever it went, dictating pace and position to convince all three judges. She's now positioned herself as a legitimate contender in a division that's starting to take shape beyond champion Piper Nievski.
The card also delivered what you came for. Malott landed a highlight-reel knockout that will get replayed all week. That's the kind of finish fans remember when they're debating the best moments from the weekend.
For Blanchfield, the loss stings. She entered as a name people respected in the division, but Jasudavicius simply out-grappled her when it mattered most. That's what happens in the UFC when you face someone better on the mat.
