After nearly four years away from the game, Tatiana Suarez returned this past Saturday in a big way.
Suarez (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) picked up a $50,000 performance bonus in her first fight since 2019 when she submitted Montana De La Rosa (12-8-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) with a second-round guillotine choke at UFC Fight Night 220.
Who knows how far Suarez could have gotten by this point in her career if she’d have been able to be active instead of sidelined with injuries. But she took the first step with a win in her first bout back, and now can start to think about what’s next.
