Jasmine Jasudavicius delivered the biggest win of her career earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) at UFC Edmonton live on ESPN+ from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, when the Canadian flyweight stopped veteran Ariane da Silva with a third-round anaconda choke.

Da Silva came into this fight the betting underdog but she looked good early on. The Brazilian was quick on her feet as she landed combinations to the head and body. Jasudavicius channeled her wrestling for a late-round takedown, but the first five minutes went to da Silva.

Jasudavicius went back to the well in Round 2 with another takedown and minutes of top time. She unloaded countless punches on the ground (some to the back of the head) that put da Silva on the brink of defeat. Da Silva hung in tough and made it to the end of the round, but the writing was on the wall.

In the third round, Jasudavicius found another opportunity to take the fight to the ground. This time, the Canadian fighter put her ground-and-pound aside to work for the submission finish. Jasudavicius got her wish and secured a tight anaconda choke. Da Silva defended just for a few seconds before tapping and giving the fans the stoppage they wanted.
