co-main event this Saturday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Despite her current drought, Andrade remains confident in her abilities.“I’m always feeling positive,” she told Sherdog.com. “Losses are part of our careers.

The unbeaten Suarez owns a 9-0 record that includes six wins in the UFC. She won Season 23 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series in 2016 and looked like a surefire future contender. However, injuries have limited her to just five appearances in six-plus years since. Suarez last competed at UFC Fight Night 220, where she returned from a 1,358-day layoff and submitted“Tatiana is a very tough opponent,” Andrade said.
No woman in UFC history has drawn more assignments with the promotion than Andrade, who has taken 24 fights inside the Octagon. Though she has competed as a strawweight, flyweight and bantamweight since she joined the company in in 2013, the 31-year-old Brazilian would prefer not to bounce around anymore.

If a good opportunity comes at 125 pounds, I will be available, no doubt, but my focus currently is to stay at 115 and to get another win so I can stay high in the rankings. That way, I can have a shot at the belt by next year. For that to happen, I have to do well in a single weight class. I’m working hard to be the No.
