Jessica Aguilar targets rematch with former UFC champion Carla Esparza, 'Cookie Monster' obliges

Former World Series of Fighting (WSOF) women's Strawweight champion Jessica Aguilar has yet to step into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon since an underwhelming loss to current No. 1 contender Claudia Gadelha at the UFC 190 pay-per-view (PPV) last August.

The loss ended her 10-fight win streak and saw her fall from the upper echelon of the 115-pound division all the way down to her current spot at No. 13. "JAG" is now hoping to change her standing in the division with a second victory over former foe and ex-UFC strawweight titleholder Carla Esparza, who's been out of action for the last 11 months with injury.
