WOW. So. Esparza just didn’t even show up for this. Like, as it started, she seemed like she gave no shits, she tried no hards, and gave zero winning at all. Not only did she deserve to lose this one based on not showing up, she deserved to get KTFO. You don’t not care about a title fight there, champ. Or should I say, FORMER CHAMP. (OMFG LMFAO BURN)
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
