The UFC is currently looking to have Strawweights Claudia Gadelha and Carla Esparza compete at a future UFC event.

Gadelha (14-2-0) is currently the Number 2 ranked Strawweight in the world and is coming off a victory against Courtney Casey just last weekend at UFC Fight Night 100 in Brazil. Her only two career losses come to current UFC Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Former UFC Strawweight champion ‘Cookie Monster’ Carla Esparza (11-3-0) is currently the Number 4 ranked Strawweight in the world and is coming off a victory over Juliana Lima back in April of this year. Her only UFC loss also comes to Joanna Jedrzejczyk when she was brutally KO’ed in round 2, thus losing the UFC Strawwight championship.

The two were scheduled to fight for Invicta FC 7 back in 2013, however the bout ended up being cancelled. Earlier today Gadelha took to her Instagram page to say “I’m back. Waiting for Carla Esparza to accept the fight so we can throw down. We owe this fight to the fans. Let’s get it done!!”. This suggests that Gadelha has already accepted the bout but is currently waiting for Esparza to sign the contract.
