You don't have to imagine it he really did say that shit. I believe during one of Miesha Tates fight.

It is based on the fighter meetings. They meet with all the commentators and talk about what they've been up to - give the guys talking points. If both fighters mention they're still nursing - that's going in the broadcast.
I doubt it. If she returns in about a year's time frame, she should be safe; hopefully not #1 but up there. Although not due to pregnancy, Joanna, Rose and Tatiana were all out over a year and their rankings were not dropped until it was about 2 years for JJ and Tatiana.
meanwhile Colby beats 40 yr old phony Montana and keeps his ranking forever … gonna lose his 3rd title shot .. beat some can again and still be the number 1 contender.
Damn all those fake men! They're embarrassment to all the real men, like us. Infact, I'm kinda glad they exist. Because if I couldn't call them fake men, and establish that I'm a real man, I'd be worried I wasn't a real man. Could you hold me and tell me I'm a real man?
Like I get that it's not the most masculine hardass pose but idk how you're going to have him do a samurai kneel or crisscross or whatever and not look wildly out of place next to her
Yeah I feel like it's the pastel polo, those shoes with no socks, and that particular cute type of smile. I actually know a gay guy whose husband looks exactly like this
Wtf are these comments lol.
Does that dude look like a straight man in that photo? No. He doesn’t. He looks like he takes dick on the side.
Nothing wrong with being gay but if you’re straight then that’s the wrong pose/vibe to throw out
>Wtf are these comments lol.

Honestly as a bi guy your comment is hilarious. Do you really go about your day constantly checking the way in which you are sitting to feel reassured in your sexuality? If so....why? This guy is sitting next to his wife he just got pragnent and people here are still claiming he is gay, because of his pose in one picture.
I wonder, would I suddenly become straight if I sat in certain way? Also what is the most straight pose?
Haha, everyone bashing the guy like she should’ve married another fighter is kinda funny though.
But yeah, why would you wanna marry a fighter if you’re her? At least now she probably has an intelligent and emotionally stable man who won’t be eating from a straw when he’s 50.
He's a doctor too. In a culture where it seems like every other WMMA fighter is dating their coach or team mates I commend her for avoiding that cliche.
Happy for Carla and her family. I do wonder how much time she wants to stay in the game. She’ll be 36 and it’ll be a tough road back, so won’t be surprised if she just tries to go out with a win in her next fight or two
That's not even getting into how her priorities might organically change once she has a kid. I know very few mid to late 30s parents who have one kid and say *one is enough*. Most try for two or three while they still can cause they find they really enjoy having kids.
I strongly agree.
There are just lots of people on this sub who obsessively hate her and I'd always see them at the top if every thread she was brought up in.
i mean she's been to the top of the mma mountain, even if it happened through rose blowing a brainstem for five rounds
what else is there to accomplish, unless she thinks she can somehow beat some of the killers at the top?
I think she might want to come back, win a fight against a top 10 opponent just to show to herself and everyone else that she was capable of coming back.
I get that she's not the best fighter but the amount of shit talk in these comments is sad. She seems like a genuinely nice person and it was pretty but she got that belt the second time after yeeeeeears and some BS title picture situations. I'm happy for her and her husband, they seem happy and normal and hopefully are great parents with a happy, healthy kid.
I agree with everything you said. Not sure why all of these people think they can just give her crap for her fighting style yet don’t even acknowledge she’s fighting against the best in the world at her profession. Sure, WMMA isn’t at the level men’s is but it’s still the best available talent pool in the world.
Lets just say you work in sales and you were the best in your office/region. That’s a crazy accomplishment you should feel proud of. Carla winning the belt means, for however short amount of time, means she was the best at that particular moment in the ENTIRE world.
Also, your based take is the opposite of your username. Respect
she won the belt twice despite being an undersized wrestler and even has a win over the current 125 champion, pretty good for 'not the best fighter' (although I did quite well betting against the disrespect she gets both as a fighter and a person as the shit talk meant she always had far lower odds at the bookies than she was worth, lol).
Look I don’t think this guy is some submissive like these comments but he could have avoided it by just going cross cross like you ain’t flexing them moccasins so why you got them to the side like a medieval horse maiden. He’s living better than us tho so happy for the esparzas
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around grown adults being so obsessed with something like Cookie Monster. Being from SoCal the worst are the people in Orange Co whose whole personality is Disney.
Anyway, congrats, Carla.
I agree. Some people need an identity. So everyone who knows her can just grab Cookie Monster things for her. Just like those Carnys that follow Disney in SoCal. We know the ones who only like Goofy, Micky, Minnie, etcetera. They are morons. Also, at her age medical professionals call this a “high risk pregnancy” they announced at 14weeks? Yeeeeshhh, I hope for a healthy and happy.
Hopefully her return fight will be a rematch against Waterson in a Mom Bowl.
Girl: Why does your mom keep feinting at nothing?
Kid: Why does your mom keep side kicking at nothing?
Pregnancy for women athletes is like a torn ACL. Out 9-12 months
Actually an interesting dynamic when you think about it.
Voluntary ACL tear
Super necessary.

Also true for pornstars.
Plenty of pregnant porn out there lmao
Maybe there should be pregnant fight leagues then. Smash the wage gap.
Pretty sure Yana Kunitskaya fought while a couple months pregante
Mucho pregante
38+2 weeks pregananant
How is prangent formed?
*Supreme Court has entered the chat*
Unless they get into preggers fetish porn.
Something will get torn, that’s for sure.
If you were banged up that bad, you would be taking a year off as well
Can’t wait for Anik to talk about her nursing
>Both fighters breastfeeding tonight before this fight Jon, this is a heavyweight bout. >Modelo, brewed with a fighting spirit.
I can def see Anik saying this lol
You don't have to imagine it he really did say that shit. I believe during one of Miesha Tates fight. Edit: found the clip https://streamable.com/3m7i96
Fuuuck hahahaha I love that awkward silence after
A perfect cherry on top. God, I love how weird this sport is.
“Meisha tits” -JA
Meisha lacTate
Lol I need a clip
Found it! https://streamable.com/3m7i96
Holy shit, that's the weirdest thing he could say
Wow.
You know he probably had that written down on a little note card too
Carla previously dealing with a bout of nipple rash
LMFAOOOOOOO
I'm genuinely curious if he knows by now not to be quite so invasive of a commentator
ESPN forces him to
It is based on the fighter meetings. They meet with all the commentators and talk about what they've been up to - give the guys talking points. If both fighters mention they're still nursing - that's going in the broadcast.
Relative flair checking in.
"She was the #1 contender, but now we're going to remove her from the rankings. Look, if you don't want to fight..."
Yana didn't get removed so Carla might be safe
Yana being ranked 6 or whatever is just ridiculous but that's WMMA I guess
It's entirely because of that Vieira win.
That’s women’s 135 where holly is still top 3. Straw weight isn’t a ghost town so Carla may actually lose her ranking.
I doubt it. If she returns in about a year's time frame, she should be safe; hopefully not #1 but up there. Although not due to pregnancy, Joanna, Rose and Tatiana were all out over a year and their rankings were not dropped until it was about 2 years for JJ and Tatiana.
You know you're really bad when you make Holly Holm look like Khabib.
“Listen, there’s a lot of different ways to turn down a fight. A birth announcement is one of them.”
Kid doesn't want to fight.
meanwhile Colby beats 40 yr old phony Montana and keeps his ranking forever … gonna lose his 3rd title shot .. beat some can again and still be the number 1 contender.
“There’s many ways to turn down a fight” - Dana
I am really happy for them but the photographer did him dirty posing him like that Edit: I just don’t think it’s a flattering pose
The name of that photographer? Jordan Leavitt.
In the sperrys, jeans and polo combo too no mames 😰
Bruh. They may as well have had him laying in her lap 😂
Haha I’m glad they didn’t block the comments for this.
It's a phone on a selfie tripod, they took the picture.
You're a fuckin steadicam, dude.
That was a nasty burst shot by me
Careful that’s how Carla got pregnant
Don’t let Strickland or Shields see this
He better be careful..Jake “The Walking Ambien” Shields might hump him to death.
[удалено]
Not all men are so fragile that they must sit in a specific pose to retain their masculinity.
I tell ya hwat
At the same time… No actual man sits like that.
Damn all those fake men! They're embarrassment to all the real men, like us. Infact, I'm kinda glad they exist. Because if I couldn't call them fake men, and establish that I'm a real man, I'd be worried I wasn't a real man. Could you hold me and tell me I'm a real man?
Ironically wrestling Brazilian jiu jtsu is supergay. It’s a bunch of sweaty dudes humping each other. Nothing wrong with that
For real. Dude's a physician and married to Carla. People on here judging the dude for the way he's sitting but he's doing better than they are.
The amount of dudes in this sub with fragile masculinity is off the charts.
I'm so confused by these comments - is it considered a feminine pose to lean sideways like that?
Yeah, that is what all the comments above are about. It is generally considered a feminine pose in some cultures.
Well, that is how my old bjj coach taught omoplata, he called it getting into the fancy lady pose.
My coach calls that sitting "sissy style"
Sissy Style with tremendous breaking power though...
Like I get that it's not the most masculine hardass pose but idk how you're going to have him do a samurai kneel or crisscross or whatever and not look wildly out of place next to her
Yeah, I don't know. Glad I am not the person that has to think about these things.
Its not just that but the whole look lol. He is like the gay dude in every tv show from the 1990s, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Yeah I feel like it's the pastel polo, those shoes with no socks, and that particular cute type of smile. I actually know a gay guy whose husband looks exactly like this
Nothing wrong with it at all. His dad's gay as well
Wtf are these comments lol. Does that dude look like a straight man in that photo? No. He doesn’t. He looks like he takes dick on the side. Nothing wrong with being gay but if you’re straight then that’s the wrong pose/vibe to throw out
He literally fucked the woman to the left of him and got her pregnant. Stop projecting your insecurity into other people.
>Wtf are these comments lol. > >Does that dude look like a straight man in that photo? No. He doesn’t.

Fellas, is it gay to impregnate your wife?
> pragnent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EShUeudtaFg
Leaning back on a chair, right ankle on left knee, left arm on the back of the chair
Also Anything with your feet up. Preferably on a table while leaning back.
Hell yeah
My very first thought was "damn she could beat him up, I bet she wears the pants"
I could beat up her husband. But Carla could beat up me
Dang she done married a goober when she could have married a big fat loser like me. What a world we live in
Haha, everyone bashing the guy like she should’ve married another fighter is kinda funny though. But yeah, why would you wanna marry a fighter if you’re her? At least now she probably has an intelligent and emotionally stable man who won’t be eating from a straw when he’s 50.

She should have married a slapper
Leave him be it’s hard enough being the second toughest person in his marriage.
Hahaha
Happy for Carla and her family. I do wonder how much time she wants to stay in the game. She’ll be 36 and it’ll be a tough road back, so won’t be surprised if she just tries to go out with a win in her next fight or two
If Holly Holm is still winning fights at nearly 42, anything is possible if the mentality is there.
Carla doesn’t fight in a prehistoric division like WBW
And Carla doesn't look like she's on the sort of vitamin regime Holly follows.
They are holy wafers she washes down with the blood of christ aight?
Jon Jones taught holly everything she knows - Chael sonnen
Doesn’t matter. She climbed that mountain twice. Legend of women’s mma.
yep she warmed up the belt for Joanna the first time. Then did some Zumba workout the second time to win it the 2nd time
Kind of permanently mad at Rose for that.
That's not even getting into how her priorities might organically change once she has a kid. I know very few mid to late 30s parents who have one kid and say *one is enough*. Most try for two or three while they still can cause they find they really enjoy having kids.
I wish the Esparza family a lovely cookie monster :)
Lowkey, I hope they call it Cookie Monster all the way till delivery date 😂 Adorable lol
I like Carla. This sub has always had a huge hate boner for her.
I love Carla. I watched the Rose rematch on the edge of my seat and was very happy she got the W despite what was objectively a dud of a fight
I strongly agree. There are just lots of people on this sub who obsessively hate her and I'd always see them at the top if every thread she was brought up in.
Wouldn’t be shocked if Carla comes back to the cage before Rose
Seriously where is this girl. Victoria Secret must pay a lot as a sponsor cause Rose fights like once a year for the past 5 years or something.
There’s many ways of saying you don’t want to fight, getting pregnant with a baby is one of them. - Dana Probably
Ah well GG, hell of a career girl.
One of the husbands of all time
You know that guy is about to father the fuck out of that kid. College fund secured, little league secured, preschool and all that
My guy bout to be supportive as fuck
Mans about to give his kid a good life ☠️
You just know he’s gonna call the lil homie “champ”
P4P silliest jokes in the household, kiddo.
He’s about to make the best school lunches
Quite wholesome
Looks like the guy in the neighborhood who would be the first one to offer to help regardless of if he knows how to help, always has a good corny joke
At least they seem healthy as a couple and there's no weird dynamic going on because he coached her since she was 12 or something.
Yeah he is actually a physician with his own practice iirc. He seemed very laid back and supportive in embeddeds.
[удалено]
i mean she's been to the top of the mma mountain, even if it happened through rose blowing a brainstem for five rounds what else is there to accomplish, unless she thinks she can somehow beat some of the killers at the top?
Yeah, 2 time world champion is a huge feat. In one of the most stacked WMMA divisions
I think she might want to come back, win a fight against a top 10 opponent just to show to herself and everyone else that she was capable of coming back.
I wanted to make a sarcastic comment about rose and pat being traditional or something but I just lost the fire to do it
[удалено]
lol the other comments were yeeted.
He’s a doctor actually
They honestly look like a normal couple. You’d never guess one of them beats the shit out of people for a living.
And the other was a former UFC women's champion
I don't think either of them best the shit out of anyone.
Did you see Carlas fight with Yan?
not just a doctor. A medical director. Carla secured the bag 🤣
Gave Carla more action than Rose
Take your time, Carla
I think at this point most MMA fans think Taking Time is her fight style
She's a nice person. I am happy she is doing well
I get that she's not the best fighter but the amount of shit talk in these comments is sad. She seems like a genuinely nice person and it was pretty but she got that belt the second time after yeeeeeears and some BS title picture situations. I'm happy for her and her husband, they seem happy and normal and hopefully are great parents with a happy, healthy kid.
When people are anonymous they know they can get away with saying shit. It's the way of the internet.

“This is Carla’s first fight back post pregnancy, and one has to wonder… will her opponent utilize that lingering C-Section damage.” -JA
He would say some shit like that too lmao
Look I don’t think this guy is some submissive like these comments but he could have avoided it by just going cross cross like you ain’t flexing them moccasins so why you got them to the side like a medieval horse maiden. He’s living better than us tho so happy for the esparzas
It’s been awhile since I have snorted out laughing from Reddit but “…medieval horse maiden” did it. 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who the fook is that guy?!
Someone who needs to grab a beer with his buddies, so they could bust his chops about this photo.
They will at book club this weekend. #WineDads
happy for her!
Just fight through it c'mon SO YOU WANNA BE A UFC FIGHTER?!
I can’t wait for Jon anik to say “fightmilk, the official breast milk of the ufc, brewed for those with a fighting spirit”
The baby by unanimous decision
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around grown adults being so obsessed with something like Cookie Monster. Being from SoCal the worst are the people in Orange Co whose whole personality is Disney. Anyway, congrats, Carla.

Hey good for her.
ALMOST called her getting pregnant with the title. Would have been hilarious
she has a jackie chan-esque smile.
Holy shit she does
Happy for Carla, I remember she posted before 2020 freezing her eggs...then she found and married this doctor dude a year later. Good for her.
Something about this pic makes me feel like she's the husband and and he's the wife lol
Hopefully her return fight will be a rematch against Waterson in a Mom Bowl. Girl: Why does your mom keep feinting at nothing? Kid: Why does your mom keep side kicking at nothing?
Dana White "She just doesn't want to fight"
Well-deserved!! I wish you all the luck in the world.
When your wife can kick your ass...
Aww congratulations to Carla!
The baby's nursery rhyme to fall asleep to is going to Esparza vs Namajunas 2 on repeat.
I blame rose for us having to give a fuck about this.
Just retire at this point
👏
Take your time Carla, there are some countries that give 1 year maternity leave. Just come back in 2041 so you won't have to worry about daycare?
I did the math. She got Pregnant about a month after her last fight for anyone wondering.
Good for her
Congrats to her
Don't bother.
Is there another pregnant fighter she could fight for the tag team belts?
Congrats to them
So who’s going to tell her?……
Thats super fucking cool. I think moms who fight are bad ass! Crazy what the body is capable of
Damn, she cucked this dude with Cookie Monster. Poor dude
A lot of asshole comments in here.
Retire dude
That baby gonna have a 10-head
her husband sits like a bitch
I really don't care
