The Ultimate Fighter 23 winner Tatiana Suarez has recalled her time on the reality show, and revealed an interesting rule that was in place for contestants.
Suarez established her name in the UFC after completing a journey from the number one pick for Cláudia Gadelha’s team to the overall strawweight victor. She accomplished that feat through season wins against Chel-c Bailey, JJ Aldrich, and Kate Jackson, and a first-round submission victory over rival Amanda Cooper at the 2016 finale.
In the subsequent years, Suarez continued her dominance in the Octagon, extending her promotional record to 5-0, a slate that includes successes against Alexa Grasso and Nina Nunes, as well as now-reigning strawweight titleholder Carla Esparza.
While injuries have stalled her rise towards championship glory, keeping her on the sidelines since 2019, the 31-year-old is preparing to return to action later this year. And while discussing her impending comeback during an appearance on The Schmozone podcast, Suarez harked back to the show that brought her to the big leagues.
When asked whether her series included any extra drama beyond what was aired, Suarez recalled it being a relatively low-key season in terms of feuds, aside from her own animosity towards eventual fellow finalist Cooper.
“There was no drama in our season really. Besides the fact that I did not like Amanda Cooper, there was really no drama,” said Suarez. “There was none. The only thing that happened was in the very beginning Amanda got upset, she was like, ‘You’re going hard.’ I was like, ‘I do everything hard, what’d you want me to do?’”
It appears that was despite the producers’ best efforts.
Suarez went on to state that as well as not having access to televisions, contestants weren’t even permitted to read unless for religious purposes. That, the Californian said, was to encourage them to interact with each other and potentially produce more back and forth that could be aired.
“Yeah, you can’t watch TV, you can’t read books. Just the bible or the Quran or something. Nope, no books,” revealed Suarez. “They do it because they obviously want you to interact with each other. So, if you’re frustrated because you can’t watch TV, you go and fight with the nearest person, or just talk to the nearest person. Obviously, that makes for good TV.”
While TUF, which is largely credited for sparking the UFC’s growth, has certainly lost some of its sting and popularity in recent editions, fans will fondly remember the early days of the show and the talent it bred, even up to the 23rd season.
Suarez will look to establish herself as the show’s greatest alum when she returns to action, something she’ll go a long way to doing if she can achieve her champ-champ ambitions down the line.
What do you make of this TUF rule?

Even though The Ultimate Fighter helped launch her own UFC career, Julianna Peña thinks that the show could use a few changes.
The UFC women’s bantamweight champion coached against rival Amanda Nunes on the currently-airing 30th season of the UFC’s reality TV show. While Peña’s team has done quite well leading up to the semifinal matchups, there was some controversy on the show’s most recent episode.
Episode 8 featured the final quarterfinal bout between women’s flyweights Brogan Walker (Team Nunes) and Hannah Guy (Team Peña). While Walker won the first round comfortably, Team Peña’s Guy was dominant in the last few minutes of the second round and looked to have done enough to warrant a third round. The judges didn’t agree, and Walker earned the decision victory.
Speaking to The Schmo, Peña was asked about the episode and the judge’s decision end the fight after just two rounds.
“It’s crazy, I mean honestly these fights are nuts,” Peña answered. “You see what these judges are doing to these fighters? It’s horrible…These judges are ruining people’s lives. And I have one last thing to say on this for last week’s episode and this week’s episode. Real MMA fights are 3 rounds, not 2 rounds. And so it deserves to go to the third round in my opinion. But that’s just me.”
Peña could be seen discussing the decision with Dana White on the episode, and the UFC president seemingly agreed that there should have been a third round.
The Schmo suggested TUF could be used for the UFC to test open scoring, which “The Venezuelan Vixen” appeared open to before ultimately returning to her point about the exhibition format being an issue.
“I mean [open scoring] should absolutely be open for discussion. But the other thing that should be open for discussion is quit with these free exhibition matches on The Ultimate Fighter. They should be going three rounds no matter what. They’re free fights that they’re basically getting under these ‘exhibition’ rules. There’s no reason why all of these fights shouldn’t be going to three rounds.”
Peña and Nunes are serving as coaches on Season 30 of TUF as part of the leadup to their rematch for the women’s bantamweight title at UFC 277.
What do you think of Peña’s comments about TUF’s exhibition fights only being scheduled for two rounds?

Tony Ferguson got a response from longtime rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, the latest in a series of verbal jabs lobbed at one another recently.
Nurmagomedov and Ferguson were scheduled to face each other in the Octagon no less than five times, but the bout never came to fruition for a variety of reasons. With Nurmagomedov happily retired and Ferguson looking for ways to recover from a four-fight losing streak, we’ll likely never see the two square off in the cage. However, both fighters have expressed interest in coaching on opposite sides for a season of The Ultimate Fighter.
The possibility of ‘The Eagle’ and ‘El Cucuy’ competing as coaches on TUF seems to have rekindled the rivalry. Ferguson got things going by taking a jab at the former champion, comparing him to pop star Justin Bieber.
“Hey Khabieber, you done with your world tour yet About time you man up and face a real coaches’ challenge. How about a pie-eating contest fatty? Nom nom nom, time’s time to make some real nose buddy foo foo, 29-1. I win – the champ.”
Nurmagomedov clapped back tweeting, “I’m waiting for you to wake up,” referring to the brutal knockout Ferguson suffered against Michael Chandler at UFC 274 in May.
Fans online are certainly enjoying the verbal sparring between the two lightweight icons. Even UFC president Dana White has taken notice, admitting that he is open to the idea of the two coaching on a season of The Ultimate Fighter. With fans generally unhappy with the lackluster season of TUF currently airing, Nurmagomedov and Ferguson could be exactly what the series needs to return to its glory days.
