Tatiana Suarez confident of ending Zhang Weili’s reign at UFC 312: ‘If anybody can do it, it’s me’

Set to feature in her first championship outing under the promotional banner in the new year, unbeaten UFC contender, Tatiana Suarez has no qualms about snapping her hiatus in a title setting — claiming if anybody can stop current strawweight queen, Zhang Weili, it’s her.

Suarez, who has been sidelined through numerous injuries since her return to action in August of last year, earned the number one rank at the strawweight limit courtesy of a dominant guillotine choke over former titleholder and common-foe, Jessica Andrade at UFC Fight Night Nashville.
