Rose Namajunas (pictured) appears to be on the fast track to MMA superstardom. First, “Thug” must beat Carla Esparza tonight to become the UFC’s inaugural strawweight champion.
Namajunas is nearly a 2-1 odds-on favorite to capture the crown. Esparza, who joined the UFC as Invicta’s strawweight champ, is more than a 1.5-1 underdog.
Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada serves as host.
