Canadian flyweight Jasmine Jasudavicius will enter the record book Saturday when she and Brazilian opponent Mayra Bueno Silva become the first female fighters to appear on a UFC card in Saudi Arabia.
Jasudavicius has been briefed on local customs by the UFC, and advised to cover up to her elbows and past her knees. And to bring a scarf, to cover her hair. "She fought for the title before, so I assume they would have to put me up somewhere pretty high ," Jasudavicius said A doctor denied Bueno Silva last time out. Macy Chiasson was awarded a TKO win when a bloody gash over Silva's right eye — courtesy of Chiasson's elbow — was deemed too bad to continue
"It's cool to know like a little bit about my opponent before getting in there. But at the same time It's kind of sucky that I have to fight one of my friends. But it's business and we're both professionals."
