Carla Eparza replaces Rose Namajunas in the main event of Fury Pro 3

The main event of Fury Pro 3 was originally supposed to be a grappling match between Danielle Kelly and UFC strawweight queen Rose Namajunas.

Due to COVID-19 protocols, 'Thug Rose' had to withdraw from the event. Carla Esparza has stepped in as her replacement.

Interestingly, Esparza and Namajunas are expected to meet in the octagon soon for the UFC strawweight title. UFC president Dana White recently confirmed that Esparza will get a shot at the title in 2022.

It’s going down!! 🙌🏽👊🏽 https://t.co/8uINHpKUct

The history between 'Cookie Monster' and Namajunas goes back all the way to 2014. In December that year, the pair competed for the inaugural UFC women's strawweight championship. Esparza got the better of 'Thug Rose', submitting her in the third-round to win the championship.
