Jasmine Jasudavicius faced a tough challenge in her fight against Karine Silva at UFC Winnipeg, ultimately winning by unanimous decision with a score of 29-28. However, controversy arose when video footage appeared to show her using a Zyn nicotine pouch during the fight. While there are no specific rules against using nicotine pouches, Unified Rules of MMA prohibit fighters from having anything other than water during bouts. This could lead to an investigation by the Manitoba Combative Sports Commission, which oversees the event. Previous cases, such as former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson fighting with a toothpick, have seen leniency from regulatory bodies. The outcome of this situation remains uncertain as officials consider the implications of Jasudavicius' actions.
