LAS VEGAS – Montana De La Rosa has been out of action for longer than she hoped, but she’ll return to the most high-profile matchup of her career when she meets Tatiana Suarez at UFC Fight Night 220.
De La Rosa (12-7-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) and undefeated Suarez (8-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) will meet in a women’s flyweight bout on the ESPN+ main card Saturday at the UFC Apex. The attention surrounding the fight has almost all to do with the highly touted Suarez, who is competing in the octagon for the first time in three-and-a-half years.
Prior to the layoff, Suarez’s grappling prowess garnered comparisons to Khabib Nurmagomedov, and she was pegged by many as a future UFC strawweight champion.
