Jasmine Jasudavicius disputes $10,000 fine over chewing gum incident

Ahead of her upcoming bout at UFC Edmonton, Jasmine Jasudavicius revealed she was fined $10,000 by the Manitoba Combative Sports Commission following her victory over Karine Silva this past April. Commission officials alleged that Jasudavicius had chewing tobacco in her mouth during the fight.

Jasudavicius denies the allegation, maintaining that she was chewing peppermint gum. She stated that she suggested officials check the mat for the gum after it fell out during the match, but they declined to do so. To avoid further issues, the fighter confirmed she has stopped chewing gum during fight nights.
