Before entering MMA, she dominated the wrestling scene, winning multiple national championships and even grabbing silver at the World Cup. Her grappling prowess made her one of the most feared fighters in the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a>&lsquo;s strawweight division.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">Zhang Weili &#10084;&#65039;s Australia!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC312?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFC312<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z3ZMqEurNd\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/z3ZMqEurNd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1888459474609832170?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>When she finally got her title shot against Zhang Weili at UFC 312, fans expected her wrestling to be the key to victory. She was the favourite to win. The first round seemed to confirm this theory, Suarez&rsquo;s wrestling looked absolutely phenomenal as she controlled the champion with relative ease, making many wonder if we were about to see a new champion crowned in Sydney.<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-312-dricus-du-plessis-vs-sean-strickland-head-to-head-record-tale-of-the-tape-and-more\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC 312: Dricus Du Plessis Vs. Sean Strickland Head To Head Record, Tale Of The Tape And More!<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Knee Injury And Downfall<\/h2><p>Sometimes fate has other plans, and in combat sports, small things can change everything. During the second round, Tatiana Suarez suffered a nasty cut on her right knee during a scramble, possibly by the fence. While cuts are common in MMA, the location of this one proved particularly troublesome.<\/p><p>Zhang Weili, being the skilled champion she is, quickly noticed this change and began teeing off with her striking. The difference was stark. Suarez went from controlling the fight on the ground to struggling to close the distance without eating powerful combinations.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With her win at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC312?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFC312<\/a>, Zhang Weili ties Joanna Jedrzejczyk for most title fight wins in UFC strawweight history with six &#128079; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wZTlOuWWr2\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/wZTlOuWWr2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UFC (@ufc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1888459968799547879?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Her wrestling, which had been so dominant in the first round, became less and less effective as she couldn&rsquo;t properly drive through her shots. The final three rounds turned into an MMA clinic by Weili, who showed why she is considered one of the most well-rounded champions in UFC history. She even controlled Suarez on the ground for the majority of the time. The decision was clear, as the judges gave the nod to Weili, who now tied Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the number of title fight wins in the strawweight division.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did The Knee Injury Compromise Tatiana Suarez In The Title FIght?<\/h2><p>Wrestling requires explosive movements from the legs, and that knee injury visibly affected Suarez&rsquo;s ability to shoot for takedowns. Before the cut, she was changing levels smoothly and forcing Weili to defend constantly. After the injury, her takedown attempts became more telegraphed and less explosive.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tatiana Suarez knee in between rounds <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC312?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#UFC312<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CHuarucI9q\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/CHuarucI9q<\/a><\/p>&mdash; PR1ME MMA (@PR1MEMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PR1MEMMA\/status\/1888456504757354676?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>This fight might have turned out very differently if Suarez&rsquo;s knee had stayed intact, but that&rsquo;s the unpredictable nature of MMA. Sometimes it&rsquo;s not just about who&rsquo;s better, but who can stay healthy through 25 minutes of intense combat.<\/p><p>That said, this fight showed both fighters&rsquo; true characters. Suarez refused to quit despite the injury, showing the heart of a true warrior. She kept trying to implement her gameplan even when her body wouldn&rsquo;t cooperate fully. Meanwhile, Weili proved why she is a champion, adapting to the situation and capitalizing on her opponent&rsquo;s compromised state.<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Christopher Hanewinc &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did Tatiana Suarez&#8217;s gruesome knee cut sabotage her championship dreams at UFC 312?

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19476"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19476"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19492,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19476\/revisions\/19492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
