Tatiana Suarez targets Mackenzie Dern’s strawweight title after taking out Virna Jandiroba at UFC Vegas 124

Speaking to UFC News in a post-fight interview, Suarez said, “I wanted to feel it just because, you know, it’s like, when you go up against someone who has good wrestling, it’s like, ‘Oh, how is my fight with theirs? And so I wanted to see that and I was excited to show that I’m also a very good wrestler.”

Suarez admitted that his pressure and attacks to the body slowed Jandiroba down as the fight progressed.

“I just felt he was tired and I just put a lot of pressure on him and I threw a lot of good knees and stuff like that,” Suarez said. “So I think that slowed him down as well. So I invested in the body. It was actually one of my things that I wanted to do.”

Suarez now wants to face Mackenzie Dernwho defeated Jandiroba to win the vacant strawweight title in 2025.

“I really want to fight Mackenzie for the belt just because as you know they fought and it was a very tough fight for Mackenzie as well,” added Suarez. “So I mean, let us fight, let us fight hard, you know?”
