Jasmine Jasudavicius decided to emulate Benson Henderson's unusual fight habit, though with a twist. While Henderson famously fought with a toothpick in his mouth during his UFC bouts, Jasudavicius chose to keep snus (a type of smokeless tobacco) in her mouth during her fight instead. The post references this as a playful imitation of Henderson's quirky ritual. No further details about the specific fight or outcome are provided in the post.
Jasmine Jasudavicius stepped into the cage with something extra in her mouth — a pouch of snus, the Scandinavian smokeless tobacco product — in a deliberate nod to one of MMA's more memorable quirks.
The tribute was aimed at Benson Henderson, the former UFC lightweight champion who built a reputation over the years for competing with a toothpick dangling from his lips. Jasudavicius swapped the toothpick for snus, putting her own spin on the ritual in what she framed as a playful imitation of the veteran fighter's signature habit.
Jasudavicius, 37, holds a professional record of 15-4-0 and is currently ranked ninth in the UFC's women's flyweight division. The Canadian fighter out of Niagara Top Team stands five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance. She averages 3.7 significant strikes per minute and completes 2.59 takedowns per 15 minutes, underlining a well-rounded approach to her fights.
Henderson, now 42 and carrying a 24-7-0 record across his career, spent years competing at the highest level of lightweight competition. The southpaw from the MMA Lab stood five-foot-nine with a 70-inch reach, landing 2.93 significant strikes per minute and averaging 2.4 takedowns per 15 minutes during his time inside the cage. His toothpick became as recognizable as his fighting style.
Why it matters
- The moment adds a human, lighter side to Jasudavicius's public profile at a point in her career where divisional visibility matters
- At ranked ninth in women's flyweight, Jasudavicius remains in the mix for higher-profile matchups where name recognition plays a role
- Henderson's toothpick ritual is one of the sport's most cited personal quirks, making the reference immediately legible to longtime fans
