Tatiana Suarez had to be sewn back up extensively following her first UFC title fight.
Suarez Shows Off Knee Injury After UFC 312
The Ultimate Fighter 23 winner failed to add strawweight champion next to her accolades, pitted against the talented Zhang Weili in the co-main event of UFC 312. A highly-touted grappler, Suarez only snagged one takedown out of 15 attempts, massively outstruck by "Magnum" on the feet.
SHE'S UNSTOPPABLE

Suarez survived to see the end of the fifth round, making it to the judges' scorecards, though not without a gnarly cut on her knee to show for it.
The injury opened up early and sent blood running down the leg of the title challenger. On Wednesday, Suarez shared a new photo of her knee which required many stitches.

The defeat to Zhang Weili brought Tatiana Suarez's perfect record to 10-1 in a career that's had its up and downs, from wins over former champions to injuries and unwanted layoffs.
