Zhang Weili vs. Tatiana Suarez Preview
Zhang Weili vs. Tatiana Suarez is bound to be a real banger as both fighters are expected to give their outmost in the Octagon. This goes especially for Tatiana Suarez, for whom this is the biggest fight of her career.
She’s never fought for the title before, but she did beat some former champions, including Alexa Grasso, Carla Esparza, and Jessica Andrade.
The submission win over Andrade happened in the summer of 2023, which was the last time that Suarez fought. Her UFC 312 opponent, Zhang Weili, has been way more active.
In fact, she’s fought 18 fights more than Suarez overall. She’s 25-3, with seven of her last eight fights being title bouts. The best thing is that she’s undefeated in the last four years.
After two losses to Rose Namajunas in 2021, she went on to win the following four fights – against Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Carla Esparza, Amanda Lemos, and Yan Xiaonan.
Weili vs. Suarez Prediction
Suarez is one of the best wrestlers in women’s MMA and she also has decent boxing skills. However, she’s had a lot of problems with injuries and her knees might not be in great condition ahead of the UFC 312 fight.

Plus, she’s only fought twice in the 2020s, with her most recent fight happening a year and a half ago. And let’s not forget that she’s fighting against the defending champ on Saturday.
For all these reasons, our pick is Zhang Weili.
