Jasmin Jasudavicius has copied Benson Henderson's notorious habit of fighting with something in her mouth, but instead of a toothpick, she kept snus during her fight. Henderson famously fought with a toothpick in his mouth during his UFC career. The post condemns the practice but confirms that Jasudavicius adopted this unusual approach in her latest bout. No further details about the specific fight or outcome are provided in the post.
Jasmin Jasudavicius has revealed she competed in her most recent UFC bout with snus tucked in her mouth, drawing comparisons to a long-running habit associated with former lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
Henderson, the 42-year-old American southpaw who fought out of MMA Lab, became one of the more recognizable figures in UFC history partly because of his tendency to compete with a toothpick dangling from his lips. The 175 cm fighter compiled a professional record of 24-7-0 over a lengthy career, landing 2.93 significant strikes per minute at 45 percent accuracy while also averaging 2.4 takedowns per 15 minutes. His toothpick quirk became something of a trademark, and Jasudavicius has now offered her own variation on that theme.
Rather than a toothpick, the Canadian strawweight reportedly kept snus — a form of smokeless tobacco product — in her mouth throughout the fight. The practice has drawn criticism, with commentary surrounding the disclosure condemning the approach on health and safety grounds.
Why it matters
- Snus use during competition raises questions about fighter welfare and whether athletic commissions have rules covering such behavior
- The comparison to Henderson gives the story wider context but also highlights how unusual in-cage habits can become talking points regardless of performance
- Jasudavicius remains an active presence in the UFC strawweight division, meaning the story carries relevance for how the promotion and regulators may respond
No details about which specific bout Jasudavicius was competing in at the time have been confirmed, and no outcome or opponent has been identified in connection with the disclosure.
