Fight
The fight was a domination of a wrestler against a striker. Tatiana proved to be an All-American Wrestler that can make the takedown and submission.
First, here's an example of her sheer strength of takedown against JJ's sprawl:
Now, JJ did bloody Suarez's face with some elbows, but Suarez persevered:
The final sequence occurred in the second round where instead of just letting gravity take it's course, Suarez lifted Aldrich and spiked her on her head:
This lead to the beginning of the end:
And finally the tap near the end of the 2nd round. Victory by SUB via RNC:

1. Things are a bit heated all around. Joanna is bullying Claudia and I think Helen "The Harpie" Harper is getting in between Syndicate buddies Roundtree and Cory to form the first of the season TUF House Love-Triangle! Will there be any scene in the house with the three of them together? Will Hanna Harper, Khalil Roundtree and Cory Hendricks be filmed in the same room (or outside together)? TUF gym and vans don't count. (10pts)
A) Yes, three's company!
Cory is really working it in the Women's Room. Last episode, he found an opportune time to suddenly undress in front of a Bronchitis stricken Harper as soon as she woke up and stepped foot out of her bed, catching her and Gatorade bottle in total surprise by throwing off his shirt, his UFC brand hat, and also dropping his trousers, all for no reason in mid-sentence:
She seems fine, Cory, I'm a bit worried about the Orange Gatorade that is currently being choked to death with both her fists there, though:
And the rest of that week, it was as if she were under his spell, doing errands and little chores for Cory at the mere suggestion, completely ignoring the high-five attempts and inspirational pep-talk coffee dates that Khalil set up to build her confidence and morale. She just wasn't there for Khalil, friendship wise, as she once was:
Khalil found out, and wanted Cory to stop bugging her with his subliminal grifter-lethario ways, so that he could more effectively bug her with his positivity bubble of good times and universal-energy-beings talk.
They ended up settling this like gentlemen, but instead of pistols at dawn, it got negotiated down to a Donut Eating Contest near the breakfast nook, with Helen Harper in the back, off to the right, waiting for the Spell of the Hendricks to be broken.
Here are the two, ready to battle for rights to Helen Harper's soul:
If we pan to the left, we'll see JJ Aldrich (with hood), Yoder (with facemask) and Cooper, and the legs of Moyle to the far right:
If we pan back further, we can see Lanchana Green laughing and mocking them all on the left, and to the far right, there is Tatiana Suarez, as line-judge, Jamie Moyle with knees up and feet on chair in the fetal position, and yes, with the mini-gallon jug half filled with Nyquil, farthest right, is Helen Harper, awaiting her fate:
You may ask... ok, those are seven of the eight female fighters. Where is Kate Jackson, gorgonon? Sadly, she was not invited. In point of fact, later on in the day when the blue team went for morning practice, it was revealed that she was 'accidentally' left behind the previous night at the TUF gym, left to fend for herself with only UFC Water Bottles as nourishment.
Nobody made a big deal, so don't get all teary-eyed or anything. Kate Jackson didn't seem to mind, or at least, nobody asked and she didn't say anything or make eye contact, for that matter.

2. The whole JJ and Claudia smack talk took a turn week 2, with JJ going full tilt into it and not relenting. The thing is, there were a couple moments where I thought Amanda Bobby Cooper (ABC) or Lanchana Green were going to chirp back, as ABC even muttered to Gadelha that she wished she didn't understand English like the Brazillian Boxing Coach, so she wouldn't have to understand the Champ. There were stares given. Chuckles suppressed and hidden from view.
Will any of the irked Claudia Team utter anything about Joanna to each other or themselves or JJ herself or anyone this episode? This only includes the fellow Team Claudia Strawweights (Amanda Cooper, Kate Jackson, Tatiana Suarez and Lanchana Green), It doesn't have to be a negative thing, just will they mention her now that Jo Jedz has made an indelible impression on them. Confessionals DO NOT count. (15pts)
B) No talking about, or to, the Champ or I'll find you disrespectful and put the Shame on you!
Frankly, Joanna Champion is getting sick and tired of waiting on the other team or their weakling coach to start talking to or about her, so when she saw Helen Harper crying and making direct eye contact, she went full Polish Gangster on her and told her to not show any sign of fear or crying when JJ's fellow 'coaches' will drag her kicking and screaming from the TUF House:
She whispered all these things into Helen Harper's crying, weak ears so nobody else will hear, and described in ruthless, calculating ways, from weakling body part to weakling body part, asking why Helen Harper wants this done to her? Why she look directly into Champion's eyes and speak Shameful words like, "I've still got bronchitis, please stop staring at me":
Is this what Helen Harper wants?
