Jasmine
Jasudavicius’ fight against Karine
Silva was mostly uninteresting, barring a brief
moment. 

Jasudavicius (15-4) took on Silva in front of a home crowd at the
Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on Saturday.
Jasudavicius picked up a unanimous decision win in a lukewarm bout
mostly marked with inaction. However, a moment in Jasudavicius’s
corner captured fans’ attention. The 37-year-old was seen fiddling
with something behind her lips, which fans suspected was a nicotine
pouch.

However, Jasudavicius denies using a nicotine pouch in her fight.
Jasudavicius finds the accusations even funnier as she claims to be
among the very few fighters from her gym who don’t use Zyn, a
popular brand of nicotine pouches used under the lip. Jasudavicius
claims that she usually uses chewing gum during workouts and
warm-up, and forgot to spit one out before walking into the Octagon
at UFC
Winnipeg.

Looks Can Be Deceiving

“It’s so funny because I’m one of the only people in the gym who
doesn’t use those nicotine pouches… A teammate of mine actually did
fight in Honduras a couple of weeks ago with a nicotine pouch in,”
Jasudavicius said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “But no, I train
with gum, and I was warming up with gum… I’ve fought with gum in
the past, but I forgot to spit it out before the walkout, and it
was still in my mouth. It’s better than a toothpick.”

Zyn has recently become extremely popular among fighters, with

UFC superstar Alex
Pereira arguably being the biggest promoter.
