JASMINE JASUDAVICIUS VS FATIMA KLINE LOWDOWN

Jasmine Jasudavicius (10-3) is 4-2 in the UFC now, but her loses came to monsters. She lost a unanimous decision to Natalia Silva (2022) who has future title challenger written all over her. She responded with decisions over Gabriella Fernandes (2023) and Miranda Maverick (2023) before getting outpointed by Tracy Cortez (2023) who headlines this Denver card. She returned this year to a much kinder matchup in Priscila Cachoeira (2024) who she submitted in the third round at UFC 297.

She was scheduled to fight another beast in Viviane Araujo, but she has had to pull out giving Fatima Kline (6-0) the opportunity to make her UFC debut. She started her pro career with four dubs under the Invicta banner. She went on to TKO Sara Cova (2023) and earnt a unanimous decision over Andressa Romero (2024) for the Cage Fury Fighting Championships to set up this shot on the big stage.

JASMINE JASUDAVICIUS VS FATIMA KLINE PREDICTION

The odds are stacked against the newcomer taking the fight on short notice against a high-level wrestler. Kline is a good grappler herself, but she is a natural strawweight and will struggle with the power and technique of Jasudavicius.

That said, Kline is the favourite. She has a lot of potential as a high-pressure grappler with good cardio, but it is surprising to see her as the favourite. She will make this competitive simply as she has the grappling to counter Jasudavicius’ strengths.

She is an exciting prospect at strawweight but taking on the bigger wrestler is a tough ask especially on short notice at elevation when the Canadian has had a full camp.

Prediction: Jasudavicius via Decision
