Tatiana Suarez's string of bad luck with injuries has continued as she has now revealed that she has suffered "a very bad knee injury" — this and much more on Wednesday's social media roundup.
Tatiana Suarez suffers "very bad knee injury"
Tatiana Suarez is probably one of the most unlucky fighters on the current UFC roster.
Suarez has not competed inside the UFC Octagon since June 2019 where she got a dominant unanimous decision win over Nina Nunes.
Suarez was scheduled to fight MMA veteran Roxanne Modafferi at UFC 266 but she has suffered a "very bad knee injury" in training which means she will need surgery, therefore, the fight has been canceled.
Suarez's bad luck with injuries continues as prior to injuring her knee, Suarez had a lingering neck injury which kept her out of the Octagon for a very long time.
Check out what Suarez had to say about the injury below.
Tatiana Suarez says she’s staying positive for a "kick ass" comeback story after revealing she suffered a “very bad knee injury” that requires surgery.

Suarez has vowed to be a part of a "kick ass" come back story and many people would not be surprised if she has an extremely successful return as she is pound for pound one of the best female fighters on the planet.
We wish Suarez all the best in her recovery.
Chris Weidman to need another surgery on his broken leg
After Chris Weidman had surgery on his horrific broken leg injury which he suffered at UFC 261 against Uriah Hall, it seemed like Weidman was recovering well.
However, that was not the case as Weidman will now have to undergo another surgery on his leg as it has not healed correctly.
Chris Weidman just told us on MMA Today that his leg hasn't healed correctly and he's now scheduled for another surgery.
