Suarez Secures Decision Win Over Jandiroba; Walker Knocks Out Cortes Acosta

Tatiana Suarez moved to 13-1 in her career after defeating Virna Jandiroba by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.

Tatiana Suarez defeated Virna Jandiroba via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night this Saturday in Las Vegas. The 35-year-old Rancho Cucamonga native improved her record to 13-1, securing her third consecutive victory since a title-fight loss to Zhang Weili in early 2025. Despite failing on all nine of her takedown attempts, Suarez accumulated over nine minutes of control time by fending off Jandiroba’s grappling and seizing top position.

Jandiroba, now 23-5, suffered her second loss in three appearances following a previous decision defeat to Mackenzie Dern. Suarez, currently ranked fourth in the strawweight division, expressed her intention to challenge for the championship belt next. The bout featured two top-10 pound-for-pound fighters, with Suarez ranked ninth and Jandiroba ranked tenth.

In the night's main event, Johnny Walker stopped Waldo Cortes Acosta with a head kick and follow-up strikes for a knockout at 2:27 of the third round. Walker, typically a light heavyweight, took the heavyweight bout on short notice after a scheduled welterweight headliner between Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim was scrapped due to Brady’s staph infection. The victory saw Walker recover after nearly being knocked out earlier in the contest.
