Jasmine Jasudavicius delivered the biggest win of her career earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) at UFC Edmonton live on ESPN+from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, when the Canadian flyweight stopped veteran Ariane da Silva with a third-round anaconda choke.
Da Silva came into this fight the betting underdog but she looked good early on. The Brazilian was quick on her feet as she landed combinations to the head and body. Jasudavicius channeled her wrestling for a late-round takedown, but the first five minutes went to da Silva.
Jasudavicius went back to the well in Round 2 with another takedown and minutes of top time. She unloaded countless punches on the ground (some to the back of the head) that put da Silva on the brink of defeat. Da Silva hung in tough and made it to the end of the round, but the writing was on the wall.
In the third round, Jasudavicius found another opportunity to take the fight to the ground. This time, the Canadian fighter put her ground-and-pound aside to work for the submission finish. Jasudavicius got her wish and secured a tight anaconda choke. Da Silva defended just for a few seconds before tapping and giving the fans the stoppage they wanted.

Dustin Stoltzfus delivered a monstrous knockout finish earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) at UFC Edmonton live on ESPN+ from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, stopping middleweight veteran Marc-Andre Barriault with a nasty right hand in the first round.
This main card matchup was not great in the beginning minutes. Stoltzfus basicall relied on his takedowns, top game, and control to subdue Barriault and gain an early edge. Barriault wasn’t offering much defense, but he did eventually power his way to his feet with under a minute left. That’s when all hell broke loose.
Both middleweights unloaded heavy hooks and uppercuts in the clinch with deadly intentions. Even after they broke away to create distance they kept firing and fought their way against the cage. That’s when Stoltzfus uncorked a sick right hand that caught “Power Bar” flush and put him out for the count. Stoltzfus jumped on top for a few extra shots.
Check out the final moments in the above video player.
Stoltzfus, 32, is not known for his striking. Instead, the middleweight veteran typically relies on his wrestling and submission prowess to take control of fights. While Stoltzfus did that early on it’s nice to see his power come through on the feet, especially since this was his last fight on his current UFC contract.

Serhiy Sidey may have won on the scorecards earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) at UFC Edmonton live on ESPN+ from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, but the bantamweight prospect believes he actually lost his fight against Garrett Armfield.
Sidey was coming off a split-decision loss to Ramon Tavares in his Octagon debut back in January and competing in front of his home country of Canada on Saturday night. It was a big opportunity for the talented striker to prove he belongs in the premier MMA organization in the world. Unfortunately, things didn’t go exactly as planned for Sidey.
While the Canadian prospect lasted all three rounds and had some good moments in the fight, Armfield seemed to do a little more damage and had more control with his grappling. Most thought Armfield was going to walk away with the unanimous decision win, but once the scores were being read and it was panning out to be a split decision fight fans knew something was up.
Sidey was awarded the win to much disgust from Armfield. The Canadian crowd was certainly excited to see their fighter get the nod, but Sidey was not happy with his performance after the fight. In fact, the bantamweight fighter admitted that he thought he should have lost. Check it out below:
“Personally, I thought I lost. I’ll be honest,” said Sidey.
As for Armfield, who has now dropped two in a row inside the Octagon, he took to social media to show his disapproval and even suggested some home cooking. Armfield also reached out to former President of the United States, Donald Trump, and UFC CEO, Dana White, for help with his split-decision loss. See below:

Charles Jourdain made good on his bantamweight debut earlier tonight (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) at UFC Edmonton live on ESPN+ from inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, stopping hard-nosed veteran Victor Henry with a slick second-round submission (power guillotine choke). It was the first time Henry has ever been stopped in his 32-fight pro career.
Jourdain has been up and down at featherweight over the past couple of years and decided to drop down to 135 pounds to close out 2024. The Canadian fighter picked a great card to roll out a new-and-improved version of himself as he was competing in front of a wild home crowd. Jourdain was arguably the biggest attraction on the “Prelims” undercard.
While Jourdain’s speed showed up in the first round and allowed him to land some solid strikes, Henry’s grappling, takedowns, and submission threats kept “Air” on his toes. It looked like Henry was beginning to wear Jourdain down midway through the second, but as the two bantamweights were getting back to their feet Jourdain locked up a tight guillotine choke. Henry fought just for a few seconds before tapping out for the first time in his career.
Check out the final moments in the above video player.
Jourdain, 28, could not have asked for a better result for his bantamweight debut. The Canadian veteran is known for his boxing skills and creative attacks, but he’s beginning to churn out some solid finishes by way of guillotine. If Jourdain can stay hot in his next fight he should be fast tracked to the top 15 in 2025.
