Conor McGregor backs unbeaten Tatiana Suarez to win title after UFC Nashville win: ‘This women is very, very good’

Tuning into last night’s UFC Fight Night Nashville card, former duel-weight promotional champion, Conor McGregor has heaped praise on event co-headliner, Tatiana Suarez – who turned in her second win of the year, backing her to land a championship inside the Octagon to boot.

Suarez, an alum and victor of The Ultimate Fighter 23 – turned in a stunning victory in last night’s co-main event clash in Tennessee, defeating former undisputed strawweight titleholder, Jessica Andrade inside the second round.

Improving to 10-0 as a professional, the Californian grappler handed the aforenoted, Andrade a stunning second round loss in Nashville – wrapping up her second consecutive guillotine choke win.
