Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, Carla Esparza, UFC 307 picks

On this episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by 9th-ranked welterweight Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson and women’s strawweight Carla Esparza ahead of their respective fights on this Saturday’s UFC 307 card in Salt Lake City. Joining first is Wonderboy, and the 20-fight UFC veteran discusses his upcoming welterweight clash with Joaquin Buckley along with how a 41-year-old like him stays sharp enough to contend against some of the best fighters in a stacked division. Then, former women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza joins the show to reflect on her career as she prepares for the final fight of her decorated career. Esparza talks about balancing motherhood and fight prep as she gets ready for a rematch with Tecia Pennington 10 years removed from their battle on The Ultimate Fighter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
