We are taking multiple angles on this fight, focusing on Jasmine Jasudavicius to win in Round 2 and Round 3, with additional props on Jasmine to win by TKO/KO in Rounds 2 and 3. Andrade has consistently struggled against opponents who are bigger, stronger, and capable of imposing a grappling-heavy game plan. Jasudavicius fits that mold perfectly — she will be the much bigger fighter and is likely to aim for takedowns early and often. Once the fight hits the mat, Jasudavicius should be able to dominate with top control, pressure, and relentless ground and pound.
While Jasudavicius hasn’t secured a TKO finish in the UFC yet, she’s come close on multiple occasions. She applies constant pressure on the ground, and with the crowd behind her, there’s a real chance that a sustained barrage of strikes — especially if she traps Andrade in a dominant position like a crucifix — could force a stoppage. This kind of top pressure could be particularly effective against Andrade, who has shown vulnerability when stuck on bottom against physically imposing opponents.
It’s important to note that Andrade is still a significant threat on the feet. She carries genuine knockout power, and Jasudavicius is hittable, so early caution is key. However, the deeper the fight goes, the more it should swing in Jasudavicius’ favour as she implements her grappling.
We are avoiding Round 1 props because Jasudavicius tends to build her dominance over time rather than finishing early. The expectation is that her pressure and control will start breaking Andrade down in the later rounds, creating prime opportunities for a finish in Round 2 or 3.
