Tatiana Suarez thinks Rose Namajunas should have trusted her grappling more against Carla Esparza . Namajunas (11-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) lost her strawweight title to Esparza (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) last month at UFC 274 in a rather lackluster affair. Namajunas was uncharacteristically hesitant to engage and in a tough fight to score, the judges decided Esparza was the more active fighter. Being the last fighter to defeat Esparza , Suarez (8-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) has engaged with the champion on the ground and thinks Namajunas should have done the same even though she was out-grappled and submitted in her first fight with Esparza in 2014 . “I was very surprised at how little she did,” Suarez said on The Schmozone Podcast .
