Tatiana Suarez makes her highly anticipated return to the cage at UFC Vegas 70 on February 25th, as she takes on 9-fight UFC veteran Montana De La Rosa.

It will be the first time Suarez sets foot in an Octagon since 2019. Injuries have plagued her so far unblemished MMA career that has seen her finish the likes of J.J Aldrich, Alexa Grasso, and two-time women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza.

Her last bout took her professional record to 8-0, as she defeated Nina Nunez on the judge’s scorecards. Closing in on four years later, she returns to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas to take on Montana De La Rosa.

Strangely, the bout was first announced via Montana De La Rosa’s OnlyFans account, which now appears to be a reputable MMA news outlet.

De La Rosa, a former Ulitmate Fighter quarter-finalist, has finished 9 of her 12 wins. She lost her last fight by decision to Maycee Barber at UFC Vegas 52 back in April.

Can Tatiana Suarez still be the female Khabib?

De La Rosa will be seen as a stern test upon return from a long layoff for Tatiana Suarez. Once coined “The Female Khabib” by fans, Suarez was well on her way to a title shot before a traumatic and reoccurring neck injury stopped her in her tracks. After scheduling a return in 2021, Suarez then injured her knee, keeping her out of action until now.

De La Rosa will receive a huge boost to her own momentum should she foil the plans set in motion by Millenia MMA for the former Ultimate Fighter winner.

They compete at the UFC Apex on a card that is to be headlined by light-heavyweights Nikita Krylov and Ryan Span, as they look to make a case for a title shot in a division that is very much wide open.

Maycee Barber To Return Against Montana De La Rosa At April Fight Night

Maycee Barber, Montana De La Rosa

UFC women’s flyweight prospect Maycee Barber will make her return to the Octagon at a UFC Fight Night event in April vs. Montana De La Rosa.

MMA journalists Nolan King and Marcel Dorff were amongst the first to report the booking.

Barber most recently defeated Miranda Maverick in a split decision win at UFC Vegas 32. Before that, she had lost back-to-back lopsided Octagon appearances against Alexa Grasso and Roxanne Modafferi.

Barber will face a tough test in De La Rosa, who knocked out Ariane Lipski at UFC Vegas 28 and holds previous wins over Rachael Ostovich and Nadia Kassem. She is another solid flyweight prospect who, like Barber, is looking to make a name for herself in the division.

The Barber/De La Rosa matchup will be joined by several intriguing matchups on April 23, including Jessica Andrade vs. Amanda Lemos and Clay Guida vs. Claudio Puelles. The venue for the event has yet to be announced as well as the official main event.

Barber began her professional MMA career with a perfect 8-0 record, including three-straight wins to begin her UFC tenure. After earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, she showcased elite power for a flyweight and earned the praise of the UFC brass.

Despite her back-to-back losses to Modafferi and Grasso, UFC president Dana White remained confident that Barber could turn it around. After a controversial win over Maverick in his last outing, she’ll look to make a statement against De La Rosa.

Miranda Maverick

Following Maycee Barber’s withdrawal, Miranda Maverick will now be facing the 7-1 Erin Blanchfield at UFC 269 as revealed by MMA reporter Nolan King on Monday.

This slot on the card was originally intended to be filled by Maycee Barber facing Montana De La Rosa. After De La Rosa had to pull out, Blanchfield was picked as the short-notice replacement. Now, Maverick has stepped up to replace Barber.

Though Barber vs. Blanchfield had become the plan, an overwhelming number of people believe Maverick was the rightful winner of her bout against Barber at July’s UFC on ESPN: Sandhagaen vs. Dillashaw event. Aside from that controversial loss, Maverick has won her last five UFC bouts. She is currently 2-1 in the promotion.

Her opponent, Erin Blanchfield, is a 22-year-old upstart, who is only two years younger than the 24-year-old Maverick. Blanchfield is currently riding a four-fight winning streak and made a successful UFC debut in September when topping Sarah Alpar.

With this change, here is the updated lineup for UFC 269 on December 11:

  • Lightweight Championship Bout: Charles Oliveira (c) vs. Dustin Poirier
  • Women’s Bantamweight Championship Bout: Amanda Nunes (c) vs. Julianna Peña 
  • Leon Edwards vs. Jorge Masvidal
  • Pedro Munhoz vs. Dominick Cruz
  • Cody Garbrandt vs. Kai Kara-France
  • Sean O’ Malley vs. Raulian Paiva 
  • Geoff Neal vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio
  • Ryan Hall vs. Darrick Miner
  • Alex Perez vs. Matt Schnell
  • Josh Emmett vs. Dan Ige
  • Miranda Maverick vs. Erin Blanchfield
  • Dricus Du Plessis vs. Andre Muniz
  • Gillian Robertson vs. Priscila Cachoeira
  • Randy Costa vs. Tony Kelley
  • Bruno Silva vs. Jordan Wright
