Jasudavicius on losing opponent Viviane Araujo
“It sucks. I was getting ready for top 10 chick and then got a debuter. But you know, I’m here to fight.”
Jasudavicius on what she wants next
“Ideally someone with a number beside her name. I just had the young calf, so give me the old bull next. I saw (Erin Blanchfield in Kline’s) corner. So that’d be good. But anyone with a number.”
