Just an absolute mauling by Suarez. Feel a bit sorry for Esparza that she couldn't have put in a better showing than that. This was probably her last chance to get back amongst the elite of the division. There did appear to be a significant size difference though and in this day and age where fighters seem to be getting ridiculously big for their weight class, Carla appeared physically outmatched by the bigger woman and would now probably be better suited as a 105 "atom weight" fighter.

Will be interesting to see how Suarez gets on against a fighter with the physicality and power of Andrade, or even the jiu jitsu of Dern or the takedown defence of Joanna but it would appear that Rose is a good matchup for her on paper.
