Former UFC strawweight champion Carla Esparza may be a finely skilled fighting machine, but that does not mean she does not have a sweet side. Now a quite adorable school wrestling photo of the former title holder has been revealed to show that very fact.
A former champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Esparza has taken on some seriously tough and talented opponents during her mixed martial arts career. Among them, the fighter earned a submission victory over the now reigning strawweight champion Rose Namajunas back in 2014.
That being said, Esparza has now decided to go to social media to show her fans that there is more to her than throwing down inside the octagon.
Taking to Instagram, Esparza stated “1st year wrestling, high school All-American! #TBT #redondounionhighschool #usawrestling #wrestler #girlswrestling.” The former champion can be seen during her high school years in the picture below:
