Virna Jandiroba eyes potential title eliminator against Tatiana Suarez

Virna Jandiroba and Tatiana Suarez meet at UFC Vegas 124 in a matchup of two strawweight contenders who have both previously fallen short in title bids. Jandiroba, currently 9-4 in the UFC, noted that the pair have been scheduled to fight twice before, with past bouts canceled due to injuries and scheduling changes.

While Jandiroba holds two previous losses to Mackenzie Dern, she remains confident that a victory over Suarez could put her back in the championship conversation for 2027. She noted that while MMA math is not an exact science, studying recent footage of Suarez has helped her identify tactical openings for their upcoming contest.

Jandiroba acknowledged that she is nearing the end of her professional career and is focused on enjoying her remaining fights. She expressed that while she wants to compete at the highest level, she is primarily concerned with expressing herself as a martial artist in the cage.
