UFC’s Felice Herrig and Carla Esparza are both straw weight fighters who were featured on season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter which determined who would be the inaugural UFC straw weight champion.
While both performed well on that season it was Esparza who stood out from the rest with her dominant grappling ability and eventually won the whole thing, becoming the first ever UFC straw weight champion.
In the following video we see pals Carla and Felice both having some fun at what looks to be a pool party probably somewhere in Las Vegas.
In the video we see the two ‘palling around’ and having a good time. Also, we see Felice playfully bite Esparza’s thigh 28 seconds in which is actually a foul under the unified rules and looks like it left a mark.
The two even have a ‘pose off’ showing off their muscles and though both are far off from the Cris Cyborgs and Gabi Garcias of the world, Esparza’s glutes actually look to be quite well developed especially for a straw weight fighter.
Both fighters have upcoming bouts lined up with Felice scheduled to fight Alex Grasso at UFN 104 and Esparza expected to face off against Randa Markos at UFN Halifax on February 19th, 2017. Let’s hope both these two can stay out of trouble until then.
