Former UFC strawweight champion Carla Esparza will be out much longer and will have to undergo shoulder surgery.
Carla Esparza isn't having a very good 2015. After having an incredible 2014 where she beat 4 talented strawweights at TUF 20 to be the inaugural 115 lb champion of the UFC, she has suffered tough setbacks on the following months. She was completely dominated by the current champion in Joanna Jedrzejczyk last March, and now she will have to spend an extended period on the sidelines due to injury.
She spoke about her injured shoulder on twitter:
I will be undergoing surgery as a result of a shoulder injury from my last fight.
