the conquest of Carla esparza No. UFC 274 stirred the spirits of a Brazilian standout in the featherweight division (up to 52,1kg.). Defeated by the new group champion in 2020, Marina Rodriguez sees a great opportunity to get a rematch against the veteran, but this time, with a belt at stake. On social media, the Rio Grande do Sul woman asked for the opportunity to re-edit the clash with the North American.

“Congratulations Carla, but now we have matters to resolve. Enjoy your belt and your marriage, because we will see you again. September? October? Just give me a day and a location. A great rematch. Let’s go”, published the Brazilian, on her account on Twitter.

eyeing the UFC 274, Rodriguez followed Esparza's triumph against Rose namajunas, in a fight marked by a lack of combativeness. Willing to erase the bad impression left by the protagonists of last weekend's co-main clash, the Gaucho guaranteed a busy clash.

“I promise a lot of action. Let’s move the strawweight,” she concluded.

At a great stage in his career, Rodriguez hasn't known what it's like to lose since the clash against Esparza, which took place almost two years ago. On that occasion, the Brazilian ended up being beaten by the veteran in a split decision by the judges. Despite the stumble, the clash was marked by balance.

The setback against Esparza marked the beginning of a new moment for Marina in the UFC. Since the positive result, the 35-year-old from Rio Grande do Sul has accumulated four consecutive victories and, today, occupies third place in the category ranking.

Yeahh! Congrats Carla, but now we have some business to do! Enjoy your belt and wedding because I'll see you again! September October? Just give me a day and location! A big rematch! Let's gooo!!🏆👊🏻 #UFC274 #UFC @ufc
