Won't face Jasudavicius
Casey (undisclosed) has been removed from the flyweight bout against Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC Vegas 70 on Feb. 25 and will be replaced by Gabriella Fernandes, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Drops another split decision
Casey lost to Antonina Shevchenko via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 39 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The queen of the split decision loss, this was Casey's fourth setback of that variety among her nine UFC defeats. As has been the case in the majority of the other ones, Casey may have very well deserved the win here. Round 3 appeared to be the only clear frame and that went in the favor of Casey. The first ten minutes were very closely contested, although all three judges gave Round 1 to Shevchenko in what appeared to be a coin flip. Casey turned 35 years of age in May and her 6-9 career record with the UFC is nothing to write home about, but she's competitive each and every time she steps inside the Octagon, and that gives her value to a company which holds an event most every week, even if Casey's ceiling is quite low.
