Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Carla Esparza vs Felice Herrig

Today's edition of Big Bad Blog Video Theater is from Friday's XFC show in Tampa. It's Carla Esparza vs Felice Herrig. When I last saw Carla, she lost to Jessica Aguilar on a June Bellator show. Carla is a two time All American wrestler. For some reason in that fight, she decided she wanted to be a kickboxer. Anytime a fighter goes against her strength, that fighter will lose. I don't know why she did that but based on this fight, I think she learned her lesson. Most of us first saw Felice in the reality show Fight Girls. She started out as a Muay Thai  fighter and has made some strides at improving her ground game at Jeff Curran's camp in Chicago. She's a good self promoter and that made her the favourite in this match. Carla came out very aggressively and took Felice down from the very start. She attempted some submissions but for the most part pounded Felice and kept her from doing anything. Carla seemed much stronger than Felice and she won the first two rounds easily. Felice did a little better in the third round but it wasn't enough and she needed a finish anyway. Carla Esparza won by unanimous decision to get back on the winning track. Enjoy the video!
