Claudia Gadelha responds to Carla Eparza’s greasing accusation: ‘Stop with your f*cking excuses”

After winning a controversial split decision over Anglea Hill at UFC on ESPN 8, Claudia Gadelha sought to run back another close fight.

Gadelha called for a rematch with Carla Esparza, which got a quick response from the inaugural strawweight champion.

Asked to respond to Esparza’s tweet, Gadelha looked incredulous.

“It’s 2020,” she said. “The sport is evolving so much, c’mon. I have the commission following me from the time I step into the octagon to the time the fight is finish. How the f*ck am I going to grease?
