Like all the fighters scheduled on three recently postponed UFC cards, Carla Esparza is disappointed that she won’t get to compete.
The former strawweight champion was just weeks away from her fight against Michelle Waterson at UFC Portland when the promotion was forced to scrap the show along with UFC London and UFC on ESPN 8 due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. While she’s had fights cancelled due to injuries and faced opponent changes at the last second, Esparza couldn’t possibly fathom that her next bout would be postponed due to a worldwide pandemic.
