Jasudavicius on the fight’s key moment
“Obviously, it was a hard fight. I would’ve liked to open up more and show more, but she’s hard. I’m glad I won three straight rounds. It wasn’t like, ‘Oooh, I don’t know for sure if I won that.’ It was a for-sure thing, so I think it puts me in a good place.”
Jasudavicius on a tough training camp
“I went over to Thailand and I did camp there. I missed Christmas, I missed New Year’s, I missed all the time with my family. There’s a lot of sacrifice that went into this camp. To go in there and get my hand raised was such a blessing.”
Jasudavicius on what she wants next
“She fought for the belt before at the weight class above, so having the win over her with the score that I did puts me in a good place. I want that belt for myself. I want that belt so bad, and I’ll do anything to get there. … Anything that gets me closer to the belt, that’s what I’m here for.”
