But Esparza says she's doing well -- 20 stitches later. Yikes.
Thank you to all my fans & supporters, I really appreciate you reaching out! I’m okay, 20 stitches later. The head butts were real! Although I don’t agree with last nights decision it’s going to take a lot more than that to stop me💪 #UnanimousHeadbutt #hardheaded 😂 pic.twitter.com/Uf4pUZm3nC

That was a great fight. Esparza is a warrior for fighting several rounds pouring blood out of this gash.
