Last weekend, on the undercard of the action-packed UFC 228 card in Dallas, Texas, The Ultimate Fighter 23 winner Tatiana Suarez picked up her biggest win to date, walloping inaugural UFC strawweight champion Carla Esparza to a third-round TKO victory.<\/p>\n

Having earned this massive win, Tatiana Suarez is now just a few short steps away from a title fight with UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. And while she might have to take another fight in the meantime, she feels she’s more than capable dispatching Namajunas when they inevitably share the cage. In fact, she believes she can thump Namajunas even more decisively than she just beat Carla Esparza. Esparza, after all, is a wrestler, and Suarez soundly out-wrestled her. Namajunas, meanwhile, is not a wrestler.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ll do the same thing I did to Esparza, I\u2019ll do the same thing to Rose,” Tatiana Suarez told\u00a0the Top Turtle MMA Podcast on FloCombat<\/a>. “It actually might be worse because Rose isn\u2019t nearly as good of a wrestler as Esparza. She\u2019s longer, but that\u2019s about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe saw what Esparza did to Rose,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd I think I\u2019m the best wrestler in the division.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatiana Suarez also compared her own skills to those of other top strawweight contenders like Jessica Andrade<\/a> and Claudia Gadelha. While she considers her rivals dangerous, she believes her wrestling makes her even better than they are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [people in my division] know how to shoot, they\u2019re powerful\u2014like Claudia [Gadelha] and [Jessica] Andrade,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s a difference between knowing how to shoot and actually knowing how to wrestle. I know how to wrestle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know second, third, fourth, chain wrestling\u2014chain wrestling and scrambling\u2014that\u2019s what I\u2019m known for,” Suarez said. “Even when they think they\u2019re going to get out, they\u2019re not.”<\/p>\n

Do you think Tatiana Suarez is a future UFC champion?<\/p>\n
