Canadian Jasmine Jasudavicius becomes 1st woman to win on UFC card in Saudi Arabia

Canadian UFC flyweight Jasmine Jasudavicius extended her winning streak to four fights with an impressive unanimous decision over Brazilian Mayra Bueno Silva in a historic bout on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia.

All three judges scored it 30-27 for Jasudavicius (13-3-0).

The 35-year-old from St. Catharines, Ont., was the busier fighter, scoring with more strikes and taking Bueno Silva down in all three rounds. The bout ended with Bueno Silva, who was returning to the flyweight division, tied up like a pretzel underneath the Canadian.

Jasudavicius, who has won seven of nine UFC bouts including six of the last seven, came into the bout ranked 12th among flyweight contenders and will move up with the win.

Bueno Silva (10-5-1 with one no-contest) was ranked seventh among bantamweight contenders.

The two made history at the ANB Arena, becoming the first female fighters to appear on a UFC card in Saudi Arabia. Saturday marked the UFC's second show in the country, following an all-male card in June that saw former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker knocked out Ikram Aliskerov.

"Such an honour to be able to do this," said Jasudavicius.
