On November 7, 2026, the women’s strawweight division will witness a clash of styles as Tatiana Suarez takes on Virna Jandiroba at UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brady. With a record of 9-1, Suarez steps into the octagon showcasing an impressive striking accuracy of 60.1% and a takedown accuracy of 45.9%. Her ability to control the fight has been reflected in her average of 161.4 seconds of control time per round, a stark contrast to Jandiroba's 124.8 seconds. Suarez’s southpaw stance adds an extra layer of complexity for opponents, and her finishing ability is evident with a remarkable 66.7% finish rate, primarily through submissions (55.6%).
Jandiroba, with a solid record of 9-4, is no slouch, but she faces an uphill battle as Suarez brings a well-rounded game that echoes past encounters like Tamires Vidal vs. Montse Rendon, where a striking and grappling disparity dictated the flow of the fight. Jandiroba has a notable submission attempt rate of 0.4 per round, but with Suarez's strong grappling defense—having absorbed just 0.12 takedowns per round—she may struggle to impose her will. The odds reflect this gap, suggesting that Suarez is the clear favorite as she looks to extend her winning streak against the experienced Jandiroba.
