Prediction: wrong Calvillo   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Esparza feels like the forgotten name at 115 lbs. Crossroads match-up. I can dig it.

I think this comes down to who has the better grappling. There's no way this doesn't hit the ground.

I can see Calvillo boxing her way to an easy unanimous decision. I think she could take Esparza on the mat but why play to Esparza's strengths?

Esparza probably thinks this is a favorable fight since she's known to try to pick opponents.

Prediction: correct Esparza   correct Decision  

Actually rooting for The Cookie Monster, and was kind of surprised to see her at +200 something. I expect a dull grappling match because it's Carla Esparza we're talking about. Hopefully, Cynthia doesn't destroy my parlay. I already have enough reasons to dislike Carla.

Prediction: wrong Calvillo   wrong Decision  

I see Calvillo jabbing Esparza's face off and draining her gas tank stuffing takedowns for 3 rounds or until Esparza leaves her head in to get choked out late in the fight.
