Jasmine Jasudavicius favored — picked against Karine Silva lean UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Malott · April 12, 2026
strikinggood grapplingdecent

Picked against, with the analyst favoring the opponent's pace, cardio, and clear grappling edge.

A good striker who generally keeps a tight guard up on defense, hits with fair power, and works in short bursts rather than a steady, sustained pace. Her grappling is a weapon as well -- she brings nasty ground and pound, getting there simply by grabbing an opponent and hauling them down to the floor, and she'll go after submissions from there too. Her clear weakness is a tendency to gas early and visibly slow down as a fight progresses -- it's not a complete shutdown, but it's a pattern that's shown up consistently enough that she likely needs to end this one early.
