MONTREAL – Jasmine Jasudavicius sees Jessica Andrade as the perfect test to enter the upper echelon of flyweight.
Looking to make it five-straight wins, Jasudavicius (13-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) takes on former champion Andrade (26-13 MMA, 11-7) in a three-round flyweight bout May 10 at UFC 315 from Bell Centre.
Andrade is 2-4 in her past six, but her name is scattered all over the record books in women’s MMA – and that excites the rising Canadian.
“Her accolades are astronomical,” Jasudavicius told MMA Junkie after the UFC 315 on-sale press conference. “So to be able to beat her (would be big), and hopefully I do it in devastating fashion, and then I can continue on this trajectory that I’m on.
“I want to fight for the belt. I’ve trained all over the world, and I know my skill set. I believe I can be the best in the world. I just need the opportunities to show it and to prove it to everyone and myself.”
Despite the power and ferocity Andrade brings, Jasudavicius plans on exposing her.
“She’s obviously very talented, but she does have holes and she is able to be kind of exposed in multiple different ways,” Jasudavicius said. “(I’m) looking forward to filling those holes.”
Sat right next to Jasudavicius in the press conference was UFC flyweight champion Valentina Schevchenko, who she aspires to face someday. Shevchenko defends her title against Manon Fiorot in the UFC 315 co-main event, and Jasudavicius expects her to remain champion.
“I don’t know for sure, a fight’s always a fight, but just hearing how Shevchenko was talking in the press conference, I could hear the confidence,” Jasudavicius said. “And I like her mindset about this is a mixed martial arts contest, and being able to show the completion of mixed martial arts. I’m very interested and intrigued for that fight, and I think she’ll take it still. I don’t think she’s retiring yet.”
