Gallery Jessica Aguilar def. Carla Esparza at Bellator 46: Best photos view 15 images

Nearly eight years after their first meeting, a rematch between Carla Esparza and Jessica Aguilar could be on the horizon.

Esparza (13-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC), the inaugural UFC strawweight champ, today took to social media to ask for a rematch with former WSOF champ Aguilar (20-7 MMA, 1-3 UFC), who won their first matchup by split decision at Bellator 46 in June 2011 (via Twitter):

It didn’t take long for Aguilar to catch wind of Esparza’s comments. She answered within minutes, and even suggested UFC on ESPN 3 on April 27 in Miami as a destination for the booking (via Twitter):

Wow always w so much hate?! You can ask nicely..Cabroncita, ehmm I mean Carlita. Vamos, April 27! #livingmybestlife #smilebisshh — Jessica Jag Aguilar (@jagatt) January 25, 2019

Esparza is coming off back-to-back losses against Tatiana Suarez and Claudia Gadelha. She hasn’t won since December 2017, but may see a chance to get back on track against Aguilar, who also is in a vulnerable position in her career.

Aguilar brought a 10-fight winning streak into the UFC, but has struggled inside the octagon with three losses in four fights. Her first-round submission loss to Weili Zhang in her most recent bout at UFC Fight Night 141 in November marked the first time Aguilar had been stopped in more than 12 years.
