Suarez–Jandiroba Booked for UFC Nov. 7
Tatiana Suarez withdrew from her 2024 UFC 310 bout with Virna Jandiroba. They are booked for Nov. 7, 2026, in Las Vegas, per the UFC event listing.
The matchup that never happened
The fight was first reported in September 2024 as a potential title eliminator. At the time, Suarez was 10-0 and returning after a long injury layoff, while Jandiroba had won four straight. Suarez withdrew before the event, and the bout did not take place. Contemporary reports cited an unspecified health issue; neither fighter was awarded a result from the proposed pairing. MMA Fighting’s booking report and Sherdog’s withdrawal report document the change.
Before the booking, Jandiroba submitted Amanda Lemos with an armbar in the second round of their July 2024 main event. Suarez’s most recent fight at that point was her August 2023 submission win over former champion Jéssica Andrade. The canceled bout therefore paused a matchup between two contenders on different stretches of activity, rather than producing a winner who could claim the next title opportunity.
The contenders’ paths since the cancellation
Suarez went on to challenge Zhang Weili for the strawweight title in February 2025, losing a unanimous decision. She then returned with decision wins over Lemos in September 2025 and a second-round rear-naked choke of Loopy Godinez in April 2026. Her official athlete record lists those results.
Jandiroba beat Yan Xiaonan by unanimous decision in April 2025, earning a title fight with Mackenzie Dern later that year for the vacant championship. Dern won their five-round bout. Jandiroba returned to the win column in April 2026, defeating Tabatha Ricci by unanimous decision. Her official athlete record and the April 2026 scorecards record the results.
A second booking in 2026
As of October 7, 2026, Suarez and Jandiroba are booked again for November 7 in Las Vegas. The bout is a high-level strawweight matchup, but its result is still ahead and the card can change before fight night. Their records now include the title-level tests and comeback wins that were still in the future when the 2024 announcement appeared. The UFC’s event listing confirms the booking.
