UFC women's strawweight contender Tatiana Suarez has issued her first statement after falling short of title glory Down Under this past weekend.
Suarez returned to action for the first time since August 2023 on Saturday, challenging two-time champion Zhang Weili's reign in the co-main event of UFC 312.
Having long been tipped for championship success as she overcame adversity after adversity, the undefeated Suarez entered the Octagon in Sydney, Australia as favorite to emerge with the gold in her possession.
But her plans to reach the top on Feb. 8 were scuppered by Zhang, who delivered one of the performances of her career to dominantly outpoint her latest challenger across five rounds.
Following on from her first professional defeat and the disappointing setback to her title ambitions, Suarez issued her first statement days on from UFC 312 in an Instagram post this week.
