Jasmine Jasudavicius eyes UFC women's flyweight title shot

Jasmine Jasudavicius has thrown her name into the hat of title contenders in the UFC women's flyweight division. Not only is she calling for a title shot, but she knows exactly which card she wants to fight on, and it's the one heading to her home province of Ontario on Jan. 30, 2027.

UFC 336 is when Jasmine Jasudavicius wants to fight next

Jasmine Jasudavicius is coming off what is arguably the biggest win of her career. At UFC Edmonton, on home soil, she defeated the streaking Erin Blanchfield. She completely outgrappled her to a unanimous decision win, leaving her on a two-fight win streak, with her previous win having been over Karine Silva in another unanimous decision at a Canadian event at UFC Fight Night 273.

She wants to continue her streak of fighting in Canada by heading to UFC 336 in Toronto, where she hopes to challenge newly-minted UFC women's flyweight champion Natália Silva in a rematch for the belt. Not only does she want to be champion, but she wants to be active, and at 37 years old, she isn't exactly in her physical prime anymore, so it's now or never (9:10):

"I said it first when I first got in. I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time. I want to stay active and I would love to be able to fight for that title, that belt in Toronto. That makes sense."

Jasudavicius has history with the new champion, having previously lost to her via unanimous decision two years ago at UFC Austin. She may just get a crack at the belt, especially given the uncertainty surrounding former champion Valentina Shevchenko, who relinquished the women's flyweight title due to an, as of yet, undisclosed injury that will sideline her for a year. Given that she isn't expected to fight for a long time, Shevchenko is out of the title picture, despite the warning she fired at the new 125-pound queen.

The only roadblock to Jasudavicius' title fight hopes is Alexa Grasso, who is also on a two-fight win streak, and who recently defeated Manon Fiorot via unanimous decision at Noche UFC 4 in what was was regarded as a title eliminator.
