Reports: Tatiana Suarez vs. Loopy Godinez Targeted for UFC 327 in Miami

The No. 2 vs. No. 6 matchup could shape the contender picture beneath new strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the strawweight bout, with Cageside Press confirming a booking first noted by Krazy Kev on X.
  • The event is expected for April 11, 2026 at Miami’s Kaseya Center, and another reported matchup is Johnny Walker vs. Dominick Reyes, though the UFC has not issued a formal card announcement.
  • Suarez, ranked No. 2, returns for her second bout since a UFC 312 title-fight loss to Weili Zhang after rebounding with a win over Amanda Lemos.
  • Godinez, ranked No. 6, enters on a two-fight winning streak that includes a decision over former champion Jessica Andrade.
  • The winner could move closer to a title shot in a reshaped division that saw Weili Zhang vacate the belt before Mackenzie Dern captured it.
