Tatiana Suarez suffers ‘very bad knee injury,’ out of UFC 266

The setbacks continue for UFC contender Tatiana Suarez.

In a video published on her Instagram account, The Ultimate Fighter 23 strawweight winner revealed that she will be unable to fight Roxanne Modafferi at September’s UFC 266 due to an injury that will sideline her indefinitely.

“I sustained a very bad knee injury and now I need surgery,” Suarez said. “I can’t believe it’s my reality, but it is and when they do a story on me, it’s going to be the most kickass story out there, ‘cause when I make my comeback, it’s going to be amazing and I can’t wait for it.
