That’s life as a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.
Particularly for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) strawweight Carla Esparza, 29, who is accepting bids on her 2015 Harley-Davidson scooter, one of many perks of capturing the glass trophy on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).
“Cookie Monster,” who also held gold for Invicta FC, won season 20 of the combat sports reality show to become the promotion’s inaugural women’s 115-pound champion.
Esparza (11-3) coughed up the division strap when Joanna Jedrzejczyk melted her at UFC 185. The Team Oyama product eventually rebounded with a hard-fought decision win over Juliana Lima at UFC 197 and currently sits at No. 2 in the strawweight rankings.
