Tatiana Suarez is ready for her in-cage return.
Suarez (125) and opponent Montana De La Rosa (125. 5) both successfully hit the flyweight mark at Friday’s official weigh-ins for UFC Vegas 70. This was Suarez’s first weigh-in appearance since June 2019 as she suffered a severe knee injury later that year that has kept her out of competition since.
Light heavyweight headliners Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann also successfully made weight at 206 and 205 pounds, respectively.
In the co-main event, middleweight contenders Andre Muniz and Brendan Allen face off. Both fighters made use of the one-pound allowance for a non-title fight, successfully coming in at 186 pounds.
The UFC APEX Saturday event was canceled after it became known that Hailey Cowan, who was unable to weigh in due to illness, had to pull out of a bantamweight preliminary bout against Ailin Perez. Earlier, Perez made weight at 135 pounds on the dot.
