BOSTON – Tatiana Suarez thinks she’s done enough for a shot at UFC gold.
The unbeaten contender has notched two finishes since returning from her injury layoff – a submission of Montana De La Rosa at flyweight, and a submission of former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade earlier this month.
UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili (24-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) retained her title in a dominant performance against Amanda Lemos this past Saturday at UFC 292. Weili said she’s open to facing either Suarez (10-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) or Yan Xiaonan next.
