What began as a routine flyweight bout at UFC Vegas 112 ended with concern. The matchup itself had clear stakes. Jamey-Lyn Horth arrived with expertise and patience, but Tereza Bleda arrived with momentum and a sense of urgency. Early on, Bleda pressed hard, looking for takedowns and trying to impose her will before Horth could settle. However, each failed attempt only drained energy, and each sprawl led to a shift in control.

As expected by every fan watching by then, Horth accurately predicted the moment when the third entry stalled. She remained composed, set her feet, and fired back. The strikes were clean and strong, and once Bleda was hurt, there was no hesitation to exploit the moment. So, the finish came quickly: a first-round TKO that ended the fight in just over two minutes.

While the finish was highlight-worthy, it was what followed that stole the spotlight. As officials waved it off and medical staff checked in, it was clear Bleda wasn’t steady. In a moment caught by a fan’s camera, the 24-year-old was first guided out with support from either side, then picked up and taken backstage.

As per reports, she was later taken for a knee scan as well as a precautionary CT scan of her head and face.

She was returning from an 18-month break because of injuries. And so, if the injuries from her fight against Horth are serious, she could be shelved again. However, she was not the only UFC fighter who needed medical attention.

Giga Chikadze, Kennedy Nzechukwu, Marcus Buchecha, and Sean Sharaf were also taken to a local Sin City hospital for precautionary reasons.

With this win, Horth ended her 2025 campaign with authority. As for Bleda, her priority has definitely shifted completely away from wins and defeats. Recovery from such damage is the only thing that should be on her mind, followed by reassessing a strategy to regain momentum in the division. Till then, it is rest for her, while her Canadian opponent looks for better challenges.

Canadian female fight support helps Jamey-Lyn Horth get closer to high-profile matchups

That momentum did not happen by chance. Horth’s recent success is directly tied to a tight Canadian support system that prioritizes shared growth over comfort. With few elite female training partners in some regions of the country, venturing outside of conventional routines became necessary. “My team wanted me to just sort of get out of my comfort zone and head elsewhere,” Horth said in an interview before the fight.

She pointed to the time spent training in new environments to sharpen different parts of her game, something that was clearly visible in her performance at UFC Vegas 112. Those necessary moves were about refinement, not reinvention. “Each gym has a little bit of how they do things differently,” she explained, noting how exposure to varied styles allowed her to see similar situations from fresh perspectives.

Training alongside other Canadian UFC fighters provided her with competitive rounds free of ego, creating an environment based on trust rather than rivalry. That structure is now producing results. “Each gym has a token female, so we kind of hop around to one another’s gyms,” Horth stated, describing the group as more like a family than a roster.

Combined with her long-held finishing mindset, all the pieces are falling into place. Higher-profile matchups are no longer out of reach, thanks to a combination of composure, power, and support from several fight camps.
