This is a VERY different matchup for Jasmine. Fatima is far more dangerous than Araujo was and a bad matchup because she will be looking to offensively wrestle. We essentially have a pure wrestler in Jasmine vs a grappler in Fatima. Fatima trains with Erin Blanchfield and gives off similar vibes. This fight has some of the most dramatic line movement I have seen. Fatima opened as a +210 dog and is now a -170 favorite. I am still going to stick with my girl Jasmine. I think its easy for Fatima to look like a grappling beast on top, but Jasmine won't give her those opportunities. Hopefully Jasmine comes in, offensively wrestles and smothers Fatima. i am going to watch the line here – if it starts to tighten back up, I will grab a moneyline on Jasmine, but if it stays wide, I may grab a +3.5 on her.
Jasmine Jasudavicius
Jasmine Jasudavicius is a wrestler who who likes to come forward and push the pace with her striking before she works in her takedowns. She has a solid clinch where she controls your body, throws heavy knees and then works some takedowns from there. She is a very accomplished wrestler with fantastic hips so that even if she has a bad entry which creates a scramble she will end up on top. She is coming off the late finish over Priscilla Cachoera where the striking looked improved.
Fatime Kline
Fatima Kline is a pressure grappler who is very dangerous on the ground. She has a very loose striking striking style where she bounces on he toes and plots forward. When distance is closed, the fires a right hand and shoots the takedown. On the ground she immediately starts working with strikes and the second you cover up, she tries to sneak in a submission. She has plenty of cardio, big takedowns and is a very solid prospect.
