What a difference a month makes. Back in early November, Dana White seemed dead set on the idea that whoever it was that would be fighting Rose Namajunas for the strawweight title next, it wouldn’t be Carla Esparza.
“You don’t sit around and wait for fights, it’s a really bad idea,” White chided in response to the idea of a title shot for the ‘Cookie Monster’—shortly after ‘Thug Rose’ defended her belt against Weili Zhang on November 6th.
If White was disinterested, though, that didn’t stop both women from continuing to express their desire to meet once more inside the Octagon.
