Tatiana Suarez is an American mixed martial artist. Tatiana Yadira Suarez Padilla, of Mexican origin, was born on December 19, 1990, in Covina, California, United States. As her older brother wrestled, she began to wrestle at four.

At 55 kg in 2011, Suarez was the top wrestler in the United States. Tatiana Suarez received a thyroid cancer diagnosis in 2012 while preparing for the Summer Olympics. She had to stop her training so she could receive radiation treatment. Suarez began training in jiu-jitsu once she recovered, which helped her transition from fighter to mixed martial artist.

Suarez started practicing mixed martial arts in 2013, and in February 2014, she made her amateur ring debut by defeating Elizabeth Rodriguez through a technical knockout in the first round. She fought again before opting to go pro and won unanimously over Jessica Pryor.

After a series of successful treatment procedures, Tatiana returned to training for the Gladiator Challenge competition in 2014. She got into Brazilian jiu-jitsu post-cancer, which led her to discover MMA. Tatiana hasn’t looked back since then.

In the Gladiator Challenge competition in July 2014, Suarez made her victorious MMA debut by decisively defeating Tyra Parker.
