Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza fought for the women’s strawweight title at the co-main event of UFC 274. These two have fought before at the finale of The Ultimate Fighter Season 20. Rose was a huge favorite to win the fight, but Carla dominated the fight with her aggressive wrestling and submitted her to get the win.

Their first fight took place back in 2014, and both of them have grown leaps and bounds as a fighter. Rose stayed in the title contention and snatched the title from the clutches of Zhang Weili. She defended it against her, and Carla fought her way to the top to get a rematch against her.
