Video: What’s the best path to a UFC title shot for Tatiana Suarez?

BAD MMA News — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 18:41:39 +0000

After nearly four years away from the game, Tatiana Suarez returned this past Saturday in a big way. Suarez (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) picked up a $50,000 performance bonus in her first fight since 2019 when she submitted Montana De La Rosa (12-8-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) with a second-round guillotine choke at UFC Fight Night 220. Who knows how far Suarez could have gotten by this point in her career if she’d have been able to be active instead of sidelined with injuries. But she took the first step with a win in her first bout back, and now can start to think about what’s next. Her win over De La Rosa was at flyweight, but Suarez is considering a return to strawweight and is interested in a fight against former champion Rose Namajunas – though Namajunas has talked about a move up to 125 pounds. Perhaps most importantly for Suarez is, what’s her quickest path to a title shot: Flyweight or strawweight

USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie rankings, Feb. 28: Tatiana Suarez returns

BAD MMA News — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 02:17:04 +0000

After a lengthy layoff due to multiple injuries, Tatiana Suarez has successfully returned to MMA. At UFC Fight Night 220 , Suarez (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) made her long-awaited return to action, defeating Montana De La Rosa by submission in the second round. It was her first fight since June 2019, where she left as a top 5 competitor in the strawweight division. Since her return bout was at flyweight, and she anticipates a return to the lighter weight class where she made her name, it’s too early to tell which division she will earn her ranking. Her talent and resume cannot be completely ignored, therefore her triumphant return lands her on the women’s pound-for-pound rankings . At Bellator 291 , Yaroslav Amosov also returned to action to defend his welterweight title after being away since June 2021 due to fighting for his home country of Ukraine in the war against Russia.
