Commission Upholds Jasudavicius Win and Issues Maximum Fine

Overview

• The Manitoba Combative Sports Commission ruled Tuesday that Jasmine Jasudavicius’ unanimous decision over Karine Silva will stand after an appeal from Silva’s team.
• The commission concluded an unauthorized foreign object was present but said investigators could not verify the item’s identity or determine whether it offered any competitive advantage.
• Jasudavicius told interviewer Ariel Helwani she had been chewing gum and denied using a nicotine pouch, and Silva’s appeal was formally denied.
• The commission imposed the maximum regulatory fine for a safety violation and breach of the province’s Combative Sports Act while declining to disclose the exact amount.
• The ruling preserves Jasudavicius’ momentum in the flyweight division, further pressures Silva’s record, and highlights how fan-captured video can trigger formal safety and fairness reviews in combat sports.
