Jasmine Jasudavicius called for a spot on January’s UFC 297 card in Toronto — and now it appears she has just that.
Canada’s Jasudavicius (9-3) is set to face Brazilian Priscila Cachoeira (12-6) at the January 2024 Pay-Per-View event.
Jasudavicius revealed the booking on social media.
Both halves of the women’s flyweight match-up are coming off single losses. For Jasudavicius, that setback came against Tracy Cortez at Noche UFC in September, where she dropped a three-round decision. The loss snapped a two-fight win streak for the Niagara Top Team standout.
Cachoeira will enter the fight off a loss to Miranda Maverick, who Jasmine Jasudavicius bested earlier this year. Prior to that, she had also compiled a two-fight win streak.
UFC 297 is headlined by a pair of title fights: in the main event, middleweight champ Sean Strickland takes on Dricus Du Plessis, while in the co-headliner, Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva face off for the women’s bantamweight title vacated by Amanda Nunes when she retired this past June.
