I think Esparza wont he striking battle and that isnt somethign that I thought would happen.

I think Carla will take the decision but each round was squeaky close and I hope Michelle gets it :)

Lol @ judges. Should be more draw rounds, especially when the fighters spend most of the fight 10 feet away from each other. #UFC245
