Get to know the betting odds, predictions and picks for the upcoming Jessica Andrade vs Jasmine Jasudavicius fight!
Women’s MMA has come a long way since its early days in the UFC. Just over a decade ago, UFC CEO Dana White claimed women would never fight in the octagon. And 2013 onwards to today, and female fighters regularly headline major events and deliver some of the most exciting performances in the promotion. The flyweight division has particularly flourished in recent years, producing memorable battles and showcasing incredible technical skill. This weekend at UFC 315 in Montreal, fans will witness an intriguing clash between a former champion and a rising contender.
Jessica Andrade and Jasmine Jasudavicius represent different career trajectories colliding at a pivotal moment. Andrade, the battle-tested veteran and former UFC strawweight champion, looks to get back in the win column after dropping her last fight to Natalia Silva. Meanwhile, Canadian Jasudavicius rides the momentum of a four-fight winning streak and hopes to use her hometown advantage to secure the biggest victory of her career.
Jessica Andrade brings an impressive resume to the octagon with 26 professional wins, including 18 finishes split between knockouts and submissions. Despite standing only 5’1″, Andrade has competed across three weight classes in the UFC, demonstrating her fearlessness against bigger opponents. Her slam knockout of Rose Namajunas to win the strawweight title remains one of the most spectacular finishes in UFC championship history.
Jasudavicius presents a completely different physical profile at 5’7″ with a significant reach advantage. The Canadian has steadily improved throughout her UFC tenure, showcasing dominant wrestling and relentless pressure. Her recent submission victory over Ariane da Silva highlighted her grappling development, while her decision win over Mayra Bueno Silva proved she can hang with established names in the division. Her size advantage and improving technical skills have transformed her from prospect to legitimate contender in a relatively short time.
The oddsmakers have mae their call. According to BetMGM, Jasmine Jasudavicius is a substantial favorite at -310. This means a bet of $310 will yield a $100 win. Meanwhile, Jessica Andrade returns to the octagon as a +250 underdog. This means that a $100 bet on her will yield $250 in winnings.
These numbers might surprise casual fans given Andrade’s championship pedigree, but they reflect recent form and stylistic matchups. Moreover, fighting in your backyard can provide that extra boost of energy in those critical late-round moments when both fighters are digging deep.
*These are the latest odds. They are however bound to change.
Jessica Andrade will likely come out aggressive, looking to close distance quickly and land her powerful hooks. Her best path to victory involves turning this into a brawl and catching Jasudavicius during exchanges. The Brazilian excels when opponents engage directly with her, allowing her to unleash her devastating power. If she can prevent being held against the cage or taken down repeatedly, her experience in championship fights could prove decisive.
Jasmine Jasudavicius has a clear gameplan. She must use her reach to keep Andrade at bay, clinch when necessary, and implement her superior wrestling. The Canadian will aim to wear down Andrade with constant pressure and top control. Her recent performances suggest she has the cardio and technical ability to execute this strategy for all three rounds.
If we bet on the fight, we are going with Jasmine Jasudavicius to win via unanimous decision.
