The powerful Brazilian flashed explosive striking in the rare moments the two were upright, but Jasudavicius took everything coming her way well, countered at times, and worked to get Fernandes to the ground in each round. Once there, the debuting fighter had no answers, allowing the Canadian to work to dominant positions and batter her with elbows and punches while draining the clock and controlling the action.
This was a strong bounce-back effort for Jasudavicius, who lost to talented Brazilian debutant Natalia Silva last time out. The Niagara native moves to 2-1 in the UFC and 8-2 overall with the win, while Fernandes falls to 8-2 and sees her seven-fight winning streak snapped in the process. | Official Scorecards
