UFC 310 title eliminator? Virna Jandiroba vs. Tatiana Suarez in the works

Likely to be a women's strawweight title eliminator, Virna Jandiroba vs. Tatiana Suarez is in the works for the UFC's final pay-per-view event of 2024.

The top contenders are expected to collide Dec. 7 at UFC 310 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Verbal agreements are in place and bout contracts expected to be signed in the coming days.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the targeted booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Ag. Fight first reported the bout Tuesday.

Jandiroba (21-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) looks to extend her winning streak to five. After consecutive victories over Angela Hill, Marina Rodriguez, and Loopy Godinez, Jandiroba hit a Submission of the Year candidate armbar against Amanda Lemos in July.

Suarez (10-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has yet to lose as a professional, despite her career being riddled with injuries and delays. She most recently competed in August 2023 when she submitted former champion Jessica Andrade in Round 2. Other notable UFC wins include former champions Carla Esparza and Alexa Grasso.

With the addition, the UFC 310 lineup includes:

• Dominick Reyes vs. Anthony Smith

• Virna Jandiroba vs. Tatiana Suarez
