Former UFC women's strawweight champion Rose Namajunas shared her prediction for the upcoming fight between current division champion Carla Esparza and Weili Zhang.
A lot of people underestimate Carla. They think Weili will just run her over. An♋d I understand why they think that. Zhang is a beast, a very s🎀cary competitor. I'm definitely leaning toward Zhang at this point, but Esparza should by no means be discounted.
