<p>Former UFC women's strawweight champion Carla Esparza appeared recently on <a href="https://twitter.com/arielhelwani" target="_blank">Ariel </a><a href="https://twitter.com/arielhelwani" target="_blank">Helwani</a>'s The MMA Hour, and expressed interest in fighting WSOF women's strawweight champion Jessica Aguilar. Aguilar beat Esparza via Split Decision at Bellator 46 on June 25, 2011.</p>
"I'd fight her, for sure," said Esparza as transcribed by for MMAFighting.com. "I'd definitely be willing to fight her."
"I saw her talk smack before my (last) fight. She's saying like, 'Even if Carla wins, guess who's still #1?' I'm like, 'Get over yourself, girl.'
"You haven't fought any of the top ten girls in, like, who knows how long. How can you even call yourself #1 if you fight people who aren't even ranked? Who don't give you a real challenge? Not to disrespect who she has fought. They're game to fight and everything, but just as far as rankings go, do you feel like you're really challenging yourself and can really call yourself #1? No, you cannot."
"I know she does some extra stuff, which I feel like she is a cheater, to be totally honest. I'm trying to say that she's a cheater and I don't think because of what she's done she can call herself #1 ever because of who she's fought, even since she's beaten me years ago. I feel like if you cheat then you never even won that fight, so whatever.
"I know for a fact, but I'm not going to get into that. It doesn't really matter. If she's not getting popped or she hasn't been tested, there's not really anything anyone can say or do, so I'm not really going to sit here and harp on it. She's talked so much trash on me, I almost feel like not even putting her on blast, but personally messaging her, 'Really? How can you call yourself a martial artist and how can you sit here and talk trash on me and how you're #1 if you're going and doing these things?'"
"Oh, I know she was [using]. Because a friend of mine told me that they personally gave her shots in her butt or whatever. Whatever, girl. You're not #1. You've never been no. 1, so get over it."
Aguilar declined to comment on Esparza's allegations.
