UFC strawweight Tatiana Suarez does not think Nina Ansaroff will have any clear advantages training with Amanda Nunes.

Suarez and Ansaroff will meet at UFC 238 this Saturday in Chicago, with the winner of the bout likely to be the next challenger for Jessica Andrade’s title.

Suarez is unbeaten and has won all four of her UFC bouts. Ansaroff, meanwhile, has won her last four as well, including a notable win over Claudia Gadelha.

The 33-year-old also has the benefit of training with her partner Nunes, who happens to be the women’s bantamweight and featherweight champion. But it doesn’t really mean much for Suarez.

“I remember talking about this not too long ago, and they were saying, ‘Do you think she has an advantage training with the champion?’” Suarez said at a recent media lunch (via MMA Junkie). “And was like, ‘Ya know what? I think when you’re around success, you learn the tools for success.

“But I’ve been around successful people and champions my entire life. I’ve developed these tools over time. I don’t need a current champion to know what a champion needs to do to be a champion.”

Suarez More Skillful

What will win this fight is skills, and Suarez believes she’s certainly the more skillful of the two. She is yet to truly be tested in the Octagon and her dominant wrestling has even given her a reputation of being the female Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“My skill really speaks for itself,” Suarez added. “It’s not really the power or anything like that. I wouldn’t say I have more strength than whoever – it’s just my skill level. I’ve been wrestling since I was 3 years old, so I hope I can pull something out that’s really great. I do think I’m strong.

“But I definitely feel like it’s a lot of skill, years of doing it, years of wrestling with different bodies and working with different bodies. I think I just have more experience in that field.”

After the UFC announced it’s upcoming return to Chicago, Illinois, a few women’s bouts have been added to the card.

One that stands out immediately is the return of top 115-pound prospect Tatina Suarez. The cancer survivor and former Olympic-hopeful is undefeated in her mixed martial arts (MMA) career thus far. In her last outing, she dominated former UFC women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza with a third round TKO victory.

Now, according to a report from The Chicago Tribune, she’ll face Nina Ansaroff at the UFC 238 pay-per-view (PPV) from “The Windy City”. Ansaroff is surging at the moment with a four-fight win streak. She defeated former title challenger Claudia Gadelha via unanimous decision in her last contest at UFC 231 in December.

The winner of this bout could very well be next in line to challenge for the strap. Also, the report includes that a flyweight bout between Katlyn Chookagian and Joanne Calderwood will take place on the card. Chookagian had a three-fight win streak snapped by Jessica Eye in December. However, Calderwood is going strong off back-to-back victories.

Her latest being a unanimous decision win over Ariane Lipski at UFC on ESPN+ 1 this past January. In a very young and thin women’s flyweight division, every victory is crucial in hopes of securing a title opportunity. UFC 238 goes down live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, June 8, 2019.
