UFC Fight Night 246’s Jasmine Jasudavicius wants suspensions issued for big weight misses

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – With new rules being implemented starting at  UFC Fight Night 246, Jasmine Jasudavicius is suggesting one more.

Jasudavicius (11-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) takes on Ariane da Silva (17-9 MMA, 6-6 UFC) on Saturday’s prelims (ESPN+) at Rogers Place. Two new rules will make their UFC debut Saturday as, for the first time in the history of the Unified Rules of MMA, 12-6 elbows will be allowed at UFC Fight Night 246. Also, a “grounded fighter” is redefined as an athlete who has any part of their body, besides their hands or feet, on the ground.

“I’m a big fan of the ruleset being changed to that, and I’ve definitely been implementing it,” Jasudavicius told MMA Junkie and other reporters at UFC Fight Night 246 media day.
