Jasmine Jasudavicius has been on an impressive win in the women’s flyweight division but she’ll face her toughest test to date when she faces Jessica Andrade at UFC 315 on May 10 from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
UFC officials announced the new matchup on Monday.
Currently riding a four-fight win streak, the 35-year-old Canadian gets a homecoming in May after taking out former title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva in her most recent outing in February. Overall, Jasudavicius has gone 7-2 since joining the UFC roster with her only losses coming to Tracy Cortez and Natalia Silva.
As for Andrade, the veteran Brazilian looks to get back on track after she fell to Silva this past September in a Fight of the Night effort. It was Andrade’s first fight back at flyweight after winning back-to-back contests at strawweight over Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez.
Flyweight hasn’t been as kind to Andrade but she’s taking another stab in May while facing a surging contender like Jasudavicius on her home soil.
UFC 315 is headlined by a pair of title fights as welterweight champion Belal Muhammad defends his belt against Jack Della Maddalena in the main event while Valentina Shevchenko faces Manon Fiorot with the women’s flyweight title on the line in the co-main event.
