Tatiana Suarez picked up her second win since a long injury layoff and potentially secured a title shot with a second-round submission of ex-champ Julianna Andrade at UFC Nashville.
Suarez tapped Andrade with a guillotine at 1:31 of Round 2 in the co-main event of Saturday’s event. Andrade managed to avoid danger in the first round of the bout, but Suarez eventually secured her trademark choke to coax two taps from the Brazilian.
