IRVINE, Calif. – The Invicta FC strawweight championship belt was kept in a glass case at Team Oyama, where its owner, Carla Esparza , trains on a regular basis. She pulled the belt out of the casing, reflecting on her past as the champion in an all-woman organization and eagerly looking forward to her exciting future. Just a week prior, Esparza got a missed call from a number she didn’t recognize. Most people don’t call back a number they don’t know, but she returned the call that Tuesday evening. “Hello?” Esparza cautiously said, when the person on the other line picked up.
