PHOENIX – Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza are just days away from their UFC 274 title rematch and they now have their first fight week face-to-face in the books. At the conclusion of Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, Namajunas (11-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and Esparza (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) engaged in their first staredown of fight week prior to clashing for the strawweight title in the co-main event. After Esparza submitted Namajunas in December 2014 to claim the inaugural 115-pound title , the pair are set to run it back. Namajunas now holds the gold, and Esparza will try to derail her championship dream for a second time. Check out the video of the faceoff above. UFC 274 takes place Saturday at Footprint Center.
