#UFCWinnipeg result upheld, but fighter fined 'maximum' after appeal (via @mma_kings) https://t.co/vqG5SQKPbm

What happened: The Manitoba Combative Sports Commission has officially upheld Jasmine Jasudavicius' unanimous decision victory over Karine Silva from UFC Winnipeg. The ruling follows an appeal by Silva's camp regarding a foreign object—widely reported as a nicotine pouch—seen in Jasudavicius' mouth during the April contest.

Why it matters: The commission determined there was insufficient evidence to overturn the result to a 'No Contest' but issued a $5,000 CAD fine, the maximum allowed for a first-time safety violation. The decision preserves Jasudavicius' status as the No. 6 flyweight contender and concludes the 'Zyn-Gate' controversy that sparked significant debate within the MMA community.

By the numbers: Fine amount: $5,000 CAD; Official result: Unanimous Decision (Upheld); Jasudavicius rank: No. 6 Women's Flyweight

What to watch: Jasudavicius moves forward with her top-10 ranking intact, while the UFC may face calls to tighten locker-room and pre-fight inspection protocols.
