UFC 266 loses Tatiana Suarez, new opponent sought for Roxanne Modafferi

At UFC 238 in 2019 Tatiana Suarez beat Nina Nunes to take her pro record to 8-0. That win was her fifth in the UFC and followed a TKO stoppage of former champion Carla Esparza.

Suarez has been on the sidelines since then due to a serious neck injury. It had appeared as though Suarez would make her return to the cage at UFC 266 which is scheduled for September 25. There she was expected to face fan favourite Roxanne Modafferi.

However, according to Carlos Contreras Legaspi of ESPN Deportes, Suarez has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to injury.
