Tatiana Suarez hopes she punched her ticket to a title shot Saturday. But at minimum, she knows she’s now in the mix.
Suarez (10-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) put on a dominant performance and submitted former women’s strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (24-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) in the second round of the UFC on ESPN 50 co-main event in Nashville, Tenn.
Suarez, who won Season 23 of “The Ultimate Fighter” and was a rising contender before she lost nearly four years to injury layoffs, has back-to-back wins starting with her return earlier this year, and both were bonus-winning submissions.
