Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Esquibel made her professional MMA debut in April 2011 as part of the Jackson's MMA Series. She won her first two bouts before signing with Invicta Fighting Championships.

Invicta FC

Esquibel made her Invicta FC debut against Liz McCarthy at Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Hyatt on January 5, 2013. She won the fight by split decision.[4]

Esquibel next faced Alex Chambers at Invicta FC 5: Penne vs. Waterson on April 5, 2013. She lost the fight via submission in the first round, the first loss of her professional MMA career.[5]

The Ultimate Fighter

In April 2016, it was announced that Esquibel would be a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Joanna vs. Team Cláudia.[6] She was defeated by Ashley Yoder via split decision in the opening qualifying round.[7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Esquibel made her UFC debut against Karolina Kowalkiewicz on October 21, 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Till.[8] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.[9]

Esquibel was scheduled to face Jessica Aguilar on June 1, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 131.[10] Aguilar successfully weighed in, but the bout was removed from the card the day of the event by the NYSAC due to a concern over a medical issue with Aguilar.[11] The pair eventually faced each other at UFC Fight Night 133 on July 14, 2018.[12] Esquibel lost the bout via unanimous decision.[13]

Esquibel was scheduled to face Jessica Penne on February 17, 2019 at UFC on ESPN 1.[14] At the weigh-ins, Penne weighed in at 118 pounds, 2 pounds over the strawweight non-title fight upper limit of 116 pounds. As a result, the bout proceeded at catchweight and Penne was fined 20% of her purse which went to Esquibel.[15] However Penne then injured herself on the morning of the fight and the bout was cancelled.[16] The pairs was rescheduled to meet on April 27, 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Jacaré vs. Hermansson.[17] However, it was reported on April 18 that Penne pulled out of the bout due to injury and she was replaced by Angela Hill[18] Esquibel lost the bout via unanimous decision.[19]

Esquibel faced Hannah Cifers on August 17, 2019 at UFC 241.[20] She lost the fight by unanimous decision.[21]

On March 19, 2020, it was reported that Esquibel was no longer part of the UFC's roster.[1]
