Former UFC women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza talks about recently becoming a mother, retiring from mixed martial arts, and her legacy in the sport of MMA.
Esparza was the first UFC Strawweight Champion, the first Invicta FC Strawweight Champion, and was generally considered the best Strawweight fighter in the world during both title reigns. She first earned the UFC championship by winning a 16-woman tournament that was televised on the reality series The Ultimate Fighter. She also competed in Bellator MMA’s first women’s tournament.
