10 MMA Fighters Poised To Make It Big In 2015

4. Carla Esparza

The newest UFC champion looked stellar in her debut at the Ultimate Fighter 20 finale on Fox, and will be looking to start building a streak in the strawweight division. Carla Esparza was Invicta's strawweight champion as well, so she's no stranger to success, but she's on the biggest state possible now, and is poised to break out big in 2015. Lets face it, there aren't many fighters in the division that are on her level right now, so it's hers to rule. In fact, the UFC could have another Ronda Rousey on their hands, at least in the octagon.
