Rose Namajunas snd Carla Esparza were predictably civil during their UFC 274 press conference staredown.

PHOENIX – [autotag]Rose Namajunas[/autotag] and [autotag]Carla Esparza[/autotag] are just days away from their UFC 274 title rematch and they now have their first fight week face-to-face in the books.

At the conclusion of Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, Namajunas (11-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and Esparza (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) engaged in their first staredown of fight week prior to clashing for the strawweight title in the co-main event.

After Esparza submitted Namajunas in December 2014 to claim the inaugural 115-pound title, the pair are set to run it back. Namajunas now holds the gold, and Esparza will try to derail her championship dream for a second time.
