Carla Esparza can recall just about everything from her first reign as UFC strawweight champion. It's not because it was so memorable but because it was so short.
Esparza won the inaugural strawweight belt by defeating Rose Namajunas on Dec. 12, 2014, in"The Ultimate Fighter Finale" of Season 20. Three months later, she was a former champion, having gotten stopped by Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 185 on March 14, 2015.
She had barely finished celebrating the holidays when it was time to get back to camp to prepare for Jedrzejczyk. This time, it's six months since she regained the belt by stretching her winning streak to six by besting Namajunas in an ugly, slow-paced match. "The biggest takeaway is that I needed more time between fights to recover mentally and physically and build my way back up," said Esparza, who has defeated Namajunas, Yan Xiaonan, Marina Rodriguez, Michelle Waterson, Alexa Grasso and Virna Jandiroba during her current six-fight win streak.
