Overview
- Tatiana Suarez, who fought on the UFC 327 prelims Saturday in Miami, beat Loopy Godinez by rear‑naked choke at 2:29 of Round 2.
- Godinez hurt Suarez early with heavy punches before Suarez’s wrestling took over, leading to back control and the fight-ending choke.
- Suarez became the first opponent to finish Godinez in her pro career, stopping a two-fight run and handing her a first stoppage loss.
- After the win, Suarez said she wants the strawweight belt next and mentioned Mackenzie Dern as well as a possible rematch with former champion Zhang Weili.
- The result gives Suarez back-to-back victories since her loss to Zhang and pushes her into the title conversation in a division adjusting after Zhang’s move up in weight and Dern’s rise to champion.
