UFC 297: Sean Strickland vs. Dricus Du Plessis continues on the prelims with a fight in the women's flyweight division between Jasmine Jasudavicius and Priscila Cachoeira. Jasudavicius suffered a setback in her last fight losing via unanimous decision after a two-fight winning streak meanwhile, Cachoeira also took a loss in her last getting submitted in round three as they both look to get back into the win column this weekend. With that said, check out our UFC odds series for our Jasudavicius-Cachoeira prediction and pick.
Jasmine Jasudavicius (9-3) was riding a two-fight winning streak coming into her biggest fight of her UFC career against the surging Tracy Cortez. While she hung in there against one of the division's best, she ultimately was outworked over the course of the fight and took her second loss in her UFC career. Now, Jasudavicius has her eyes set on getting back into the win column in front of her home crowd when she takes on the always-dangerous Priscila Cachoeira.
Priscila Cachoeira (12-5) had wins in four of her five fights prior to her UFC 291 matchup with Miranda Maverick. She unfortunately succumbed to Maverick's dominating grappling game getting submitted in round three via armbar. Cachoeira now has the chance to right her wrong and notch another victory in her UFC career when she takes on Canada's own Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC 297.

Why Jasmine Jasudavicius Will Win
Jasmine Jasudavicius was riding high on a two-fight winning streak when she came into her fight with Tracy Cortez. Unfortunately for Jasudavicius, Cortez was able to match her grappling and was the one landing more shots on the feet. That could spell a problem in this fight against the heavy-handed “Zombie Girl”.
Fortunately for Jasudavicius, Cachoeira doesn't have the grappling chops that Cortez possessed in her fight. Cachoeira was been drowned by heavy grappling pressure much like her last fight against the much smaller Miranda Maverick where she was eventually submitted in round three. If Jasudavicius does what she does best and that is put on a relentless grappling pressure she should be able to wear down Cachoeira to an eventual finish or just control for a one-sided decision victory.
