A potential strawweight title eliminator is on tap for UFC 310,
as Virna
Jandiroba will lock horns with Tatiana
Suarez on Dec. 7.
Multiple outlets confirmed the pairing following an initial report
from Ag.Fight. UFC 310 takes place at the T-Mobile
Arena in Las Vegas. The card does not currently have a main event,
but it is also expected to include a light heavyweight scrap
between Anthony
Smith and Dominick
Reyes. Suarez and Jandiroba were initially slated to meet last
year before the Brazilian withdrew from their bout due to a knee
injury.
A former
Invicta FC title holder, Jandiroba will take a four-bout
winning streak into the matchup with Suarez. Most recently,
“Carcara” earned a second-round submission victory against ex-title
challenger Amanda
Lemos in the UFC on ESPN 60 headliner on July 20. Jandiroba has
also earned wins over Lupita
Godinez, Marina
Rodriguez and Angela Hill
during her current winning streak.
Suarez, meanwhile, is undefeated in 10 professional outings. The
33-year-old Milennia MMA product has kicked off her promotional
tenure with seven consecutive triumphs, including a second-round
submission of Jessica
Andrade in her most recent appearance at UFC on ESPN 50 in
August 2023.
