“She (Esparza) was incredible tonight. She came and completely dominated. You can tell by the way she ended the fight that she came to prove a point. Message sent, message received. We are watching,” said Dana.

Carla's victory puts a brake on White's initial desire to promote an immediate rematch between Rose namajunas e Weili Zhang, dethroned in UFC 261. For the president of the organization, at the current moment, there is still no right answer as to who the current champion's next rival will be.

“We don’t know what we’re going to do next: whether we promote the rematch (with Zhang) or give the fight to her (Esparza)”, he concluded.

First champion of the division, Carla confirmed the great moment in her career. Facing one of the group's great representatives, the North American gave Xiaoman no chance, who was largely dominated in the two rounds that lasted the match.

Today, the North American has five consecutive victories. In addition to the impressive mark, the athlete ended the Chinese woman's 12-fight undefeated streak and should take third place from her rival in the group ranking.
