Carla Esparza is two-for-two in title bouts against Rose Namajunas.
Esparza regained the women’s strawweight title this May at UFC 274 when she beat Namajunas by split decision. The fight was nearly eight years after Esparza defeated Namajunas in December of 2014 to become the division’s first-ever champ, winning in spectacular fashion with a rear-naked choke. However, there was remarkably less intensity–and excitement–in the rematch.
