UFC Champ - Carla "Cookie Monster" Esparza

Carla Esparza is a two-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion and became the current title holder when she defeated Rose Namjunas. Typically a fighter’s career only lasts a couple of years, and when they have a huge win, they have to stretch the money until their next fight. The pay is not consistent, and after one fight, their career could be completely over.

Competitors in the UFC are also required to become ultimate entrepreneurs, as their longevity is directly tied to their audience. In this episode we discuss what it was like winning the Ultimate Fighter, her mindset going into the ring, and how it felt walking down the aisle on her wedding day wearing her UFC title Belt.
