    guess it pays to be photogenic... wonder what the straweight champ Esperza thinks of is?

    Well you have an answer: salty

    “If you are asking me if I feel a little overlooked by the ‘UFC machine’ while Paige seemingly is getting a lot of play, then I would be lying if I said that thought didn’t cross my mind,” Esparza (10-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) said in a prepared statement sent to MMAjunkie. “I feel so lucky to have been able to accomplish such amazing things in my WMMA career, but even through all of my accomplishments, and the extremely hard road it took to get them, I still feel as if I am constantly being overlooked.”

    This is a peculiar situation. Every fighter is forced to endorse Reebok but some fighters will get special treatment via sponsorship? Kinda fucky.
