Which current UFC champion are you, based on your MBTI (Personality test)?
[This is not a clinical diagnosis and merely a fan's opinion.]
UFC champions make up a rare breed of mixed martial artists. They set themselves apart from other UFC fighters in not only athleticism and skill but also their mentalities. This enables them to achieve what most MMA fighters only fantasize about. Those who capture UFC gold and reign over their divisions as undisputed champions possess minds different to their peers.
The MBTI - Myers–Briggs Type Indicator - report, an ever-popular report founded by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cooks Briggs, aims to categorize people into sixteen distinct psychological profiles.

Carla Esparza: ESTP
Not long after capturing the UFC strawweight championship for the second time in her career, Carla Esparza immediately shut down rumors of facing former champion Zhang Weili for her title so soon after winning it. Esparza said the turnaround was too quick. She would not fight on the challenger's terms. Instead, the challenger would fight on her terms.
'The Cookie Monster' seems like a classic ESTP, exhibiting the fierce independent streak they are known for. By denying both Zhang Weili and the UFC's timeline for the matchup, she showcased a known ESTP desire to exert control over her own life. She also shares the ESTP weaknesses of being stubborn and insensitive to the feelings of others. Not only did she push back against the UFC's wishes, but she infamously bullied Randa Markos in The Ultimate Fighter.
