Tatiana Suarez vs. Nina Ansaroff slated for UFC 238 in Chicago

A potential strawweight title eliminator is the first fight scheduled for UFC 238.

Tatiana Suarez is set to meet Nina Ansaroff at the pay-per-view event on June 8 in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday afternoon.

Suarez is one of the fast-rising fighters in the 115-pound division. The winner of The Ultimate Fighter 23, Suarez has won four straight in the Octagon. Most recently, the 28-year-old dominated former champ Carla Esparza en route to a third-round TKO victory.

Ansaroff became a legitimate contender after a giant upset of ex-title challenger Claudia Gadelha — the biggest win of her 15-fight career — at UFC 231 last December.
