5. Carla Esparza Isn’t Done At The Top

Former women’s flyweight champion Carla Esparza may be several years removed from being a title holder, but on Saturday she proved she’s still a top contender at 115 pounds.

”The Cookie Monster” took the fight to Cynthia Carrillo, who entered the bout as the prohibitive favorite. Esparza used her wrestling and savvy veteran know-how to get past Carrillo, who was clearly the bigger fighter between the two.

And Esparza holds a submission win over the current women’s flyweight champ Rose Namajunas from back in 2014, and with the woman who brutally took the belt from Esparza out of the picture for now, any victory could put her in the title mix at 115 pounds.

UFC 219 Predictions – Cynthia Calvillo Vs. Carla Esparza

We all know that the UFC has some fighters that it favors more than others. The UFC does not particularly do a good job at hiding this. One example of this – they privately flew out a star chef so he can make hot wings for Rhonda Rousey to celebrate, but then they ostracized Holy […]

In the women’s fight divisions, Rose Namajunas was another one of the UFCs pet fighters. Her fixtures were lined up and planned in such a way that her career would grow and she would become the first strawweight champion in the UFC. However, thanks to Carla Esparza, things did not exactly go as planned for Namajunas. She was defeated fair and square by Esparza and the only thing the UFC could do was hide Namajunas under the proverbial bed.

Esparza then went on to UFC 185 to defend her strawweight title, but she lost to Joanna Jedrzejczykand the UFC pretty much decided to give her a hard time after this. For her next fight, she was put in the middle of the bout somewhere, but she was able to take a satisfying victory in UFC 197 to mark her bounce back from loss.

She will now take on Calvillo who holds a record of 6-0 in her pro career. Esparza is a little too seasoned for Calvillo and should be able to take victory here.

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Glasgow earlier today (Sun. July 16, 2017), No. 8-ranked strawweight Joanne Calderwood went head-to-head with rising star and No. 14-ranked Cynthia Calvillo.

The bout was initially scheduled to take place at the pair’s home-class of 115 pounds, however, Calderwood missed weight by three pounds and the contest was instead held at the catchweight of 118 pounds. Calderwood recently had a two-fight win streak snapped when she was submitted by Jessica Andrade at UFC 203 last September, and was looking to get back on the winning side of things against Calvillo.

Calvillo came into the bout undefeated in her mixed martial arts (MMA) career, with all but one of those five victories coming by way of finish. Since making her UFC debut back in March, Calvillo has finished both her bouts inside the Octagon via rear-naked choke. She looked to continue that win streak against “JoJo” tonight.

Throughout the contest both women were able to land their respective shots, and although it was Calderwood who remained the busiest, Calvillo seemed to be the more accurate when she did throw. When the fight found its way to the ground, however, it was a completely different story.

The Team Alpha Male product completely dominated the ground game and had Calderwood in trouble on multiple occasions as it pertains to submission attempts. The fight, in fact, ended with Calderwood stuck in a rear-naked choke, however, she was saved by the bell and did not tap.
