Impact Suarez was fresh off a lopsided defeat to Zhang Weili in a title fight in February, so she had to do whatever was necessary to get back in the win column here. That said, she wasn't all that impressive considering she entered as north of a -500 favorite. Suarez employed her typical wrestling-heavy game plan, but landed just 3-of-12 attempts. Suarez somehow connected on just 20 significant strikes despite the fact she had 9:34 worth of control time. Tatiana's natural wrestling abilities are going to be enough to defeat most of the women at 115 pounds, but it's difficult to see her reaching the mountain top given her limited offensive skill set and the fact she'll be 35 years of age in December.
