Carla Esparza is now two for two against Rose Namajunas. At UFC 274, ‘Cookie Monster’ reclaimed the strawweight belt with a split decision win following a rather uneventful twnety five minutes. On Twitter, professional fighters shared their thoughts on the contest.

Neither Carla nor Rose could’ve been upset about that decision.

Damn. Rose and Charles both lost their belts in the most ridiculous way.

I rather watch a Jiu jitsu match on the 50/50 for 10min than watch Namajunas x Esparza again
