PHOENIX – Carla Esparza got the job done, but she knows it didn’t look pretty.
The veteran fighter reclaimed the UFC strawweight title by dethroning Rose Namajunas by split decision in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 274 at Footprint Center. It was a puzzling fight as there was very little action throughout the entire 25 minutes.
Esparza (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) knows the fight was lackluster. And although she’s now champion once again, she’s not thrilled by the type of fight she and Namajunas put on.
