Three Canadians have been added to the UFC's Feb. 25 Fight Night card in Las Vegas with an all-Canadian welterweight matchup featuring (Proper) Mike Malott and Yohan (White Lion) Lainesse.
Canadian Jasmine Jasudavicius will face American flyweight Cortney Casey at the UFC's Apex production facility. Malott is coming off a first-round TKO win in his UFC debut against Micky Gall at UFC 273 in April.
The 31-year-old from Waterdown, Ont., who now calls Burlington home, won his UFC contract on "Dana White's Contender Series" with a 39-second submission of Israel's Shimon Smotritsky in October 2021. Lainesse also used a win in White's feeder promotion to make the jump to the UFC. The 30-year-old from Montreal is 1-1 in the promotion, coming off a split-decision victory over Darian Weeks at UFC 279 in September. Jasudavicius is 1-1-0 in the UFC since earning her contract on "Dana White's Contender Series" in September 2021. The 33-year-old from St. Catharines, Ont., is coming off a decision loss to Brazil's Natalia Silva in June. The 35-year-old Casey is 6-9-0 in the UFC with four of those losses by split decision. She was submitted by Canadian Gillian Robertson in June 2020.
