Jordan Espinosa may have found a way to use back-to-back submission losses to his advantage

BAD MMA News — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 01:18:37 +0000

With back-to-back losses, Jordan Espinosa has a little pressure on him heading into Saturday. But his mindset is to not think about things much differently than normal, and in some ways he even wonders if the consecutive setbacks might work to his advantage. Espinosa (14-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) meets Mark De La Rosa (11-4 MMA, 2-4 UFC) in a bantamweight bout at UFC on ESPN 10, which takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+. Because Espinosa’s most recent two losses were first-round submissions to Matt Schnell and Alex Perez, De La Rosa doesn’t have as much to go off of, Espinosa reasons. “The silver lining with having the two losses in a row and them being first-round submissions is that I didn’t get to really show what I was capable of,” Espinosa said during a Thursday virtual media day ahead of the event.
