Despite going through a bad time in the organization, Jessica Pile Driver believes that a history of success will be his greatest ally in his career in Ultimate. Climbing to face Tatiana Suarez placeholder image this Saturday (05), the Brazilian hopes that a victory over the North American will be enough to put her close to the title again. Former strawweight champion (up to 52,1kg), the fighter comes from two consecutive defeats.
“Within the UFC I have been breaking many records, opponents who have never been knocked out, never had a defeat in their career either and I think it will be another fight in which victory will be very important for my career and for me. I'm going to do as much as I can to get this victory and the chance to fight for the belt. A victory over Tatiana puts me very close to a title shot,” said Jessica in an interview with 'The MMA Junkie'.
