At UFC 225 on Saturday night, the preliminary fight card delivered on all levels, including the women, as Claudia Gadelha and Carla Esparza came to fight.
The two UFC Women’s Strawweight contenders went at it from the word “go,” as Gadelha immediately rocked Esparza with a big shot in the first round. It wasn’t long, however, before Esparza shockingly wobbled and dropped Gadelha with punches on the feet as well.
