What do you want to know first?
How great does Tatiana Suarez look or how great does she fight?
Time to be honest.
We’re going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
As reported by sportskeeda.com, “Tatiana Suarez is reportedly set to face Virna Jandiroba in a strawweight bout at a UFC Fight Night event expected to take place on August 5 in Nashville, Tennessee.”.
Sounds exciting. Mesmerizing. Who is Tatiana Suarez?
Tatiana Suarez is an American professional mixed martial artist with a background in wrestling who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
She was the strawweight tournament winner in the 23rd season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. As of May 9, 2023, she is #10 in the UFC women's strawweight rankings.
Outstanding.
She started wrestling before her fourth birthday, as her older brother wrestled and she insisted that her mother let her wrestle too.
She graduated from Northview High School before attending Lindenwood University.
Tatiana is a two-time bronze medalist in the world championships of freestyle wrestling. In 2011, she was ranked the number one freestyle wrestler in the US at 121 pounds.
See what we mean? This young wrestling luminary is incredibly impressive.
What makes her accomplishments even more impressive is due to the adversity she had to overcome.
While training for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Ms. Suarez suffered a neck injury, which derailed her Olympic aspirations.
An MRI and CAT scan not only revealed a bothersome disc in her neck, but a cancerous growth on her thyroid.
Tatiana underwent radiation therapy and had her thyroid and several lymph nodes removed. After successful treatment, her thyroid cancer was gone and she eventually began to train again.
Isn’t it important in this life’s journey to try new things?
Tatiana started practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which led her to discovering mixed martial arts.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Now Tatiana is ready to make history.
Time for some other major UFC news.
