For Jasudavicius, her preparation couldn’t have gone any smoother. Avoiding any serious injuries, the Ontario, Canada native, traveled far and wide for her training camp, spending time at American Top Team in Florida and Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas, two gyms that have produced elite athletes and MMA champions.
“I was very fortunate to go down to ATT and [Syndicate],” Jasudavicius said. “They obviously have very high-level, talented girls there and I feel like I did well with them and that gives me great confidence. With that being said, it’s still a fight and the threat’s still there, so we made sure to be aware of that.”

That threat, on paper, appears to be in the grappling department. On a six-fight win streak, six of Silva’s 12 wins came by submission via armbar. For someone who spends so much time on the mat, albeit ground and pounding her opponents, Jasudavicius is plenty conscious of the dangers Silva brings.
“I’m always aware when I’m training if I get caught in an armbar,” Jasudavicius said. “[In training] I’m very aware of what happened, how did I get caught in the armbar, how did they set it up and making sure I get those looks.
