Carla Esparza took home UFC gold, but that also came with a big chunk of criticism.
The more than 12-year veteran defeated Rose Namajunas to reclaim the UFC strawweight title in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 274 at Footprint Center in Phoenix. It was an uneventful fight that ended in a split decision favoring Esparza.
With just 67 combined significant strikes landed over 25 minutes, it’s been touted as one of the most lackluster championship fights in UFC history.
