It was a bad night for Tatiana Suarez at UFC 312.
Going into her first shot at UFC gold, the previously unbeaten Suarez was favored to come out on top in her co-main event clash with reigning strawweight queen Zhang Weili. Unfortunately for Suarez, it wasn’t meant to be. Despite her best efforts, the Covina, California native surrendered a decisive unanimous decision victory to ‘Magnum’ after failing to unleash her wrestle-heavy attack throughout the five-round affair.
Adding insult to injury, Suarez suffered a nasty knee injury during a takedown attempt at the 4:21 mark of the second round.
