EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – With new guidelines being carried out beginning at UFC Battle Evening 246, Jasmine Jasudavicius is suggesting yet another.
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 guidelines will make their UFC debut Saturday as, for the primary time within the historical past of the Unified Guidelines of MMA, 12-6 elbows will likely be allowed at UFC Battle Evening 246. Additionally, a “grounded fighter” is redefined as an athlete who has any a part of their physique, in addition to their arms or ft, on the bottom.
“I’m a giant fan of the ruleset being modified to that, and I’ve positively been implementing it,” Jasudavicius informed MMA Junkie and different reporters at UFC Battle Evening 246 media day.
Jasudavicius desires to see a much bigger punishment for weight misses, particularly massive ones. At UFC 297, Jasudavicius was scheduled to face Priscila Cachoeira at flyweight, however the bout was moved to bantamweight after Jasudavicius revealed that Cachoeira was having points making weight. Jasudavicius ended up submitting Cachoeira to earn a Efficiency of the Evening bonus.
“I believe extra of a penalty for lacking weight,” Jasudavicius mentioned. “Just like the man final week lacking by 10 kilos, that’s loopy. There must be some extra accountability than simply cash. Prefer it must be a suspension or one thing like that.
“I believe half the battle is making weight, and for those who are skilled and so they’re doing it, I perceive, sure, there are some misses and stuff, and that occurs. However there must be, I believe, one thing with that. I don’t know what, however one thing.”
